Abstract
An otherwise healthy 19-year-old pregnant woman developed crusted scabies. She and her husband had previously been treated for scabies. In spite of appropriate treatment both suffered several relapses, and later their infant was also affected. Ultimately, the infection was eradicated. As far as we are aware, this is the first recorded case of crusted scabies occurring in a healthy pregnant woman.
