title: Scabies and genital herpes: a problem in management.
abstract: A patient who was infested with scabies subsequently developed recurrent herpes genitalis. Scratching the scabetic lesions resulted in self-inoculation with herpes on the lower abdomen and chin. Inoculation herpes is one of the most common complications of HSV-2 infection. The infection can be divided into primary, latent, shedding and recurrent stages. Pruritic lesions such as scabies complicate the management in herpes.
