title: [Disseminated infiltrated cutaneous pruritis].
abstract: The diagnosis of scabies is clinically not always simple without the detection of mites. Histology can be difficult, particularly without clinico-pathologic correlation. [corrected] Even after adequate antiscabies treatment the dermatological symptoms and complaints can persist and necessitate an [corrected] intensive follow-up treatment. The case example described here underlines that in consideration of the multifaceted clinical appearance and the sometimes difficult detection of mites, scabies should always be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of persistent pruritis.
