- - The study analyzed severe cases of crusted and profuse scabies from 95 inpatients across 22 French hospitals from 2009 to 2015, highlighting a higher prevalence in elderly individuals living in institutions.
- - Many patients had a history of misdiagnosis, with 43% initially diagnosed with conditions like eczema or psoriasis, and the average time to identify severe scabies was about 3 months despite prior treatments.

Patients under immunosuppressive therapy with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antagonists are vulnerable to various opportunistic infections including leishmaniasis. We present a case series of 8 travellers developing cutaneous leishmaniasis whilst on TNF-α antagonist treatment and review the literature on aspects of cutaneous leishmaniasis developing in patients treated with TNF-α antagonists. We make interim recommendations regarding the drug therapy used to maintain remission in travellers with rheumatoid disease travelling to leishmania prone areas.
