Abstract
Fifty patients with scabies were included in this study. Clinical, parasitological and histopathological study of all patients was done. P-53 expression was examined, using immunohistochemical techniques. Biopsies of nodular scabies showed atypical changes in the epidermis, the dermis showed dense inflammatory infiltrate. Focal positivity for P-53 have been demonstrated which could favour premalignant changes, and recommend further investigations.
