Download Lecture Overview
00:01 Moving on to parasitic skin infestations in HIV patients, we spoke about scabies in patients who are immunocompetent. 00:09 If the presentation is similar to clinical manifestations as in healthy individuals, you get involvement of the web spaces and you may see papules often sometimes excoriated, and they tend to be prone to secondary infection with bacteria. 00:29 As mentioned, the burrows are typical as well, and the web spaces are always involved. 00:39 Another type of scabies that we see commonly in patients with, with HIV is the crusted or Norwegian scabies. 00:50 So y,ou get thick crusted psoriasis from plaques, particularly as you can see on this picture here involving the axillae and the web spaces. And this we tend to see with CD4 counts that are less than 150. 01:05 Again the treatment is similar to immunocompetent patients. 01:08 But you may need longer duration and a more aggressive approach.
