Association of scabies with a bullous pemphigoid-like eruption.
We describe a patient with scabies who had an associated bullous pemphigoid-like eruption. Previous reports of this association have appeared in the literature. However, most case reports have described negative or nonspecific findings with direct immunofluorescence in contrast to the intense linear homogenous band of IgG and C3 found in our patient.
