摘要

To the Editor: In May 2006, a 60-year-old homeless woman with a history of alcoholism was admitted to the emergency department of the Con-ception Hospital, Marseille, France. Firefighters had just found her in an abandoned container in the outskirts of the city, beside the body of her com-panion, who had died several days ear-lier. She described no symptoms other than fatigue. On examination, she was found to be dirty and covered with thousands of body and hair lice; doz-ens of insect larvae were in her hair. She was mildly febrile (38°C) and had widespread excoriations but no sign of localized bacterial infection. Head shaving exposed superficial ulcers on her scalp but no maggots. Blood analysis showed marked neutropenia (0.44 ×109/L), thrombocytopenia (28 × 109/L), a marked but well-tolerated iron deficiency anemia (hemoglobin 6.8g/dL), and a C-reactive protein level of 182 mg/L. Louse infestation was treated with a single dose of iver-mectin (12 mg), and the woman was hospitalized. On day 3, she was still febrile. Louse-borne borreliosis had been ruled out by a negative blood smear, and results of serologic testing and molecular screening of lice for the other 2 louse-transmitted bacteria, Rickettsia prowazekii and Bartonella quintana (1), were negative
