Prevalence of scabies and associated factors among school age children in Qoloji IDP in Babile district, Somali, Eastern Ethiopia. Scabies is a contagious ectoparasite of the skin. It is caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. Scabies occurs worldwide among people of all ages, races, genders and social classes and has been identified as a neglected tropical infectious disease. In Ethiopia , there is currently social unrest, conflict, and human-made disasters, leading to the displacement of the population from one place to another. Scabies is one of the most common skin diseases among the internally displaced population, where hygiene and sanitation are poor. The aim of the study was to assess prevalence of scabies and associated factors among school age children in Qoloji IDP in Babile District

Parasitological prevalence of scabies and secondary bacterial infections among scabies suspected patients at Borumeda General Hospital, Northeast Ethiopia. Scabies disproportionately affects people in resource-poor areas. Clinical diagnosis risks misdiagnosis due to resemblance to other skin diseases, but laboratory confirmation improves accuracy. Scabies allow for secondary bacterial infections . Associated bacteria exacerbate scabies and antibiotic resistance. Ethiopian scabies diagnosis relies solely on clinical exams without confirming parasites or investigating secondary bacterial infections. This study aims to identify parasites via scraping, isolate secondary bacteria, and evaluate their antibiotic susceptibility profiles. A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted from September

Scabies, Bedbug, and Body Lice Infestations: A Review. Scabies, bedbug, and body lice infestations are caused by organisms that live on or in the skin, on clothing, or in the environment and commonly cause pruritus and rash. In 2021, approximately 622 million incident cases of scabies occurred globally. Data on bedbug infestations are limited. Body lice prevalence ranges from 4.1% to 35% among persons experiencing homelessness worldwide. Scabies is caused by mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) that burrow into the epidermis. Transmission primarily occurs from prolonged skin-to-skin contact with an individual who has an infestation. Common scabies is characterized by excoriated pruritic papules, plaques, and pathognomonic burrows on finger/toe web spaces, volar wrists, ankles, axillae, buttocks, male

Burden of scabies in a Ghanaian penitentiary. There is a dearth of information concerning the epidemiology of human scabies in prisons. Therefore, we aimed to assess the burden of scabies and ascertain if prevalence was high enough to warrant mass drug administration (MDA) with ivermectin in a medium security prison in central Ghana. We conducted a cross-sectional study in December 2022 and recruited inmates at the Kumasi central prison in Ghana. Medical history and demographic information was collected using a REDCap questionnaire. A standardised skin examination of exposed regions of the body was performed on all participants and scabies was diagnosed based on the criteria of the International Alliance for the Control of Scabies (IACS). Of the 559 participants, 19 (3.4%) were female

Training of Field-Workers for Rapid Assessment of Scabies Prevalence: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study in Mozambique. Scabies is endemic in many resource-poor tropical areas, causing significant morbidity. However, our understanding of the true burden of scabies in Africa is limited, partly owing to limited capacity and challenges accessing the currently recommended diagnostic tools. The primary objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of scabies assessments made by minimally trained field-workers. We trained field-workers with a minimum of secondary school education in the diagnosis of scabies. After the training, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of assessments made by nine field-workers compared with the reference standard. In all, 193 individuals were assessed
