description Scabies is very common among children. It is often a harmless infectious disease, responding well to antiparasitic medication. Nevertheless, severe forms can occur in immunocompromised populations like newborns and infants. We report a unique case of scabies in a three-months-old infant, complicated by generalized cutaneous lymphocytic vasculitis and unilateral acral necroses.
