Abstract

Bullous scabies is a rare disease that is usually diagnosed in elderly patients. The clinical, histological, and immunological findings are identical to those of bullous pemphigoid. In a review of the literature, we found reports of 24 cases. We present a new case of bullous scabies in a 72-year-old man. The lesions responded to treatment with oral ivermectin. La sarna ampollosa es una enfermedad infrecuente que se suele diagnosticar en ancianos. Los hallazgos clínicos, histológicos e inmunológicos son idénticos al penfigoide ampolloso. En una búsqueda bibliográfica hemos encontrado 24 casos descritos. Aportamos un nuevo caso de sarna ampollosa en un paciente de 72 años que respondió al tratamiento con ivermectina oral y revisamos la literatura médica.
