Dermoscopy can be helpful to identify the delta wing sign (a brownish triangular structure at the end of wavy whitish lines) and grooves created in the skin by the mite, and to guide sample collection for cytology (Muller test). In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) has recently been described as a useful technique for the diagnosis of scabies and various parasites.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> We describe a case of scabies that had been treated with multiple therapies but nonetheless persisted, as was confirmed by RCM.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient was a 26-year-old heterosexual man with a history of HIV infection who was receiving a highly active antiviral treatment, which provided good immune control (undetectable viral load; 503 CD4 lymphocytes/µL). He was seen by emergency health services for itching that had begun 4 months earlier. Scabies was clinically suspected based on the predominantly nocturnal pruritus and the presence of multiple excoriated lesions on the wrists, and the patient was prescribed 5% permethrin cream, oral antihistamines, and, subsequently, topical corticosteroids. The patient applied the scabicide on 2 occasions but the pruritus persisted and he was referred to the dermatology service. Physical examination revealed multiple burrow tracks on the wrists and hands. The delta wing sign was observed on dermoscopy. A skin scraping was taken from 2 burrow tracks on the left hand for cytology. The results were negative, showing no evidence of mites. Given the high clinical suspicion, RCM (VivaScope® 3000) of the burrow tracks on the right hand was performed, and clearly revealed the presence of the parasite (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>), scybala (feces), and nymphs. Intestinal peristalsis of the parasite was even visible in real time. The patient was prescribed daily baths with 0.03% potassium permanganate owing to the presence of exudative lesions; ivermectin (200 μg/kg [18-mg tablet] on days 0 and 10); and a new course of treatment with 5% permethrin cream. The itching gradually decreased after the second week, and complete resolution of the clinical picture was confirmed upon evaluation after 3 weeks.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Discussion</span><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Diagnosis of scabies is based on clinical features and detection of the parasite, its eggs, or scybala on microscopic observation of skin scrapings taken from burrow tracks.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> However, the sensitivity of the Muller test is low.

Disadvantages of RCM include its limited availability (due to its high cost), the need for specialized training to interpret the results, and its limited penetration of the skin (approximately 200–300 μm, which only allows observation to the level of the superficial dermis). On RCM <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">S scabiei</span> appears as an ovoid form with variable refractivity. The legs and even the digestive tract can be distinguished.
