A 19-year-old male was admitted to the medical ward with complaints of fever and swelling of the ankle and wrist joints of about two weeks' duration. The patient developed hyperkeratotic lesions of the skin over the hands, elbow and back about three weeks after admission. Antistreptolysin O, rheumatoid factor, and Widal tests as well as Chickungunya, brucella, HIV and antinuclear antibodies were negative. Culture of blood sample and pus aspirate from the ankle and chest yielded a pure growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount of the scrapings from crusted skin lesions showed plenty of adult mites, eggs and faecal pellets of Sarcoptes scabiei. A diagnosis of crusted scabies with secondary bacterial infection was made and the patient was treated successfully with oral ivermectin, topical permethrin and vancomycin.

Crusted Scabies

Crusted scabies, formerly known as Norwegian scabies is as uncommon presentation of scabies that may occur in the in association with an immunosuppressive status. The article aims to present a case report in which a male patient with HTLV-1 carrier status admitted for investigation of eczematous and crusted chronic skin lesions and submitted to a dermatologic evaluation and a skin biopsy considering the hypothesis of a cutaneous form of lymphoma associated with HTLV-1 infection had the diagnosis of Crusted scabies instead. There is data regarding de association of crusted scabies and Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) chronic infection. Therefore, this important diagnosis should always be accessed specially in HTLV-1 endemic regions.

Scabies Infestation

Mycobacterium haemophilum and crusted scabies are rare cutaneous diseases reported in distinct immunocompromised hosts. M. haemophilum is a skin and soft tissue infection, whereas crusted scabies is an infestation of the skin. Whereas scabies infestation is readily diagnosed, M. haemophilum infection poses a diagnostic challenge due to its rarity as well as varied clinical and histologic presentations. Although both scabies infestation and M. haemophilum have been reported in the literature separately, to our knowledge no previous reports have described these diseases occurring simultaneously in an iatrogenically immunosuppressed patient. We report herein a rare case of concomitant M. haemophilum and scabies infestation in a 38-year-old woman with dermatomyositis on multiple immunosuppressive agents.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
