Non-pruritic bullous scabies in an immunosuppressed pediatric patient.

Abstract

Bullous scabies is an uncommon subtype of scabies that frequently mimics other blistering skin diseases. Nocturnal pruritus is a hallmark symptom of bullous scabies. We report an unusual case of bullous scabies presenting in the absence of pruritus in an immunosuppressed pediatric patient. It is critical that clinicians consider the diagnosis of bullous scabies in any patient with bullae, irrespective of pruritus symptoms.
