Scabies Children

Scabies children

        The baby itch, is dangerous because he moves and performs movements in all directions as he tries to calm down, rubbing his back.

• Scratching lesions gradually spread throughout his body.
• A superinfection of lesions is frequently observed.

        The specific signs are often very discrete: we rely on the suggestive characteristics of pruritus (family, nocturnal exacerbation). We seek the existence of "blight" scabby. Anyway, in doubt, a real diagnostic test is warranted.

Scabies in infants and children:

• The scabious nodules on the perineum and axillae
• Papulopustular lesions on the palms and especially plants particularly evocative
• The achievement of the face could be seen

Norwegian scabies:

        It is a very rare but highly contagious infestation of Sarcoptes scabiei: it occurs preferentially in the mentally retarded (Mongolian) and immunocompromised patients. The number of ectoparasites on the body is of the order of several million dust mites. The appearance is confusing: the intensity of pruritus is highly variable, moderate or intense sometimes absent. The lesions are crusted, hyperkeratotic and predominate on the pressure areas (elbows, knees, buttocks) and extremities (palms, plants, yard). The nails are thickened. Sometimes a picture of erythroderma squamo-crusted is achieved and can be confused with psoriasis.

Norwegian scabies diagnosis

        It is usually easy and is based on:

• Increase the itching at night
• The characteristic topography of the eruption
• It is in the bewildering ways that we help each other:
• the microscopic examination of scales or the end of a path or tape test
• Finally and most importantly is the test treatment.
