Scabies is an infectious disease caused by There are three hundred million cases around the world every year. -Benzene hexachloride ( -BHC) is a scabicide used to treat the disease. Adverse ef- fects associated with -BHC include dermatitis, numbness, anxiety, tremor, cramps, seizure, aplastic anemia and pancytopenia. Seizure is a serious one among these. We report a 75-year-old woman who suffered from scabies, which was diagnosed one week before this admission and -BHC cream was prescribed. Because of fever and hypotention during hemodialysis, she was admitted and -BHC was used twice during admission.
Seizure occurred 4 days after the last use of -BHC. We reviewed the literatures and discussed the predispos- ing factors and the possible mechanism of -BHC induced seizure. The correct method of using -BHC is re- emphasized and clinicians should be cautious when prescribing it. ( J Intern Med Taiwan 2007; 18: 152-157 )
