Rare Case of Vasculitis Induced by Crusted Scabies Infection

Here we present a 70-year-old man who presented with a rare case of cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) secondary to a crusted scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei var hominis) mite infestation. Few cases have been reported in the literature of LCV in association with scabies as LCV is typically caused by a bacterial or viral infection or other malignancy. Since this combination of cutaneous manifestations is rare, diagnosis and treatment may be delayed, allowing for the development of advanced disease.
