[Severe crusted scabies: A "historic" case involving the death of a 52-year-old patient].

DISCUSSION: This case is remarkable for its historic severity. In France, scabies infestation is a re-emerging disease and has been a public health priority since 2012. The rare hyperkeratotic form is not fully understood and frequently diagnosed late, in some cases with a fatal outcome.
