Scabies is a contagious skin infestation caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Human contamination occurs mainly through prolonged skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. The diagnosis of human scabies in case of co-morbidity with another chronic skin disease could be a real challenge. Here, we report an unusual and rare case of co-morbidity of crusted scabies with systemic lupus erythematosus in resource-limited setting treated successfully with a combination of medical treatments with lifestyle and dietary measures. This case also showed the diagnostic and management challenges in a setting where the health system presents some weaknesses.
