Abstract:
In 1978, Bjornberg and Friis reported 32 patients with persistent pusi ulosis(PP) on distal extremities, of whom 13 patients were initially diagnosed as scabies. In 1984, Elpern described 7 patients with infantile acropustulosis(IA), of whom 4 patients had antecedant scabies. We report herein a case of PP, which was found in a 18 month-old mal who was treated for scabies at the age of 5 month and 12 month. The pruritic vesicopustules dev',lo ed 2 months after the second treatment for scabies and relapsed for 4 months. We also discuss the relationship between scabies and PP and also between PP and IA.
