Moreover, patients with scabies have higher risks of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and autoimmune diseases. Immune-mediated inflammatory cascades may contribute to the underpinning pathophysiology.9,10 Although systemic immune-mediated inflammatory processes are part of the pathophysiology of ...
