Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article analyzes a clinical case of vesicular toxicodermia caused by infection with the scabies mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The focus is on a female patient who, according to her medical history, noticed the development of intense itching and rashes on her hands and feet after using an antiseptic. Initial treatment provided no relief, and further investigations confirmed the presence of the scabies mite. The article emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating such clinical cases, including careful monitoring for allergic reactions to antiseptics and other potential irritants. Special attention is given to the necessity of etiological therapy directly targeting the scabies pathogen, as well as symptomatic treatment to alleviate itching and inflammatory manifestations.
