An eighty-two year old patient had scabies and transient acantholytic dermatosis (TAD, Grover's disease) at the same time. Persistent itching papules after lindane therapy finally led us to the microscopic diagnosis of TAD. Different trigger mechanisms can apparently induce the typical acantholysis. In addition to solar radiation, tumors and tumor therapy-dependent conditions, cutaneous infections have been implicated reports (Demodex folliculorum, Malassezia furfur) as causes of TAD. This may be the first report about a relationship between TAD and mite infection with Sarcoptes scabiei.

D012520	Sarcoptes scabiei	A species of mite that causes SCABIES in humans and sarcoptic mange in other animals. Specific variants of S. scabiei exist for humans and animals, but many have the ability to cross species and cause disease.	Sarcoptes scabieus,scabieus, Sarcoptes
D012532	Scabies	A contagious cutaneous inflammation caused by the bite of the mite SARCOPTES SCABIEI. It is characterized by pruritic papular eruptions and burrows and affects primarily the axillae, elbows, wrists, and genitalia, although it can spread to cover the entire body.
