  • Pediculosis Humanis (Lice, Capitis, Pubis)
    NCBI Bookshelf. A service of the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2018 Jan-. Pediculosis Humanis (Lice, Capitis, Pubis) Bradley N. Bragg1; Leslie V. Simon2. 1 Mayo Clinic Florida 2 Mayo Clinic Florida Last Update: November 17, 2017. Introduction Lice are obligate, parasitic insects that have no free-living stage in their life cycle. The three varieties that are parasitic to humans are Pediculus humanus capitis (head louse), Pthirus pubis (crab louse), and Pediculus humanus (body louse). Head lice are the most common lice. Etiology Body and head lice are 1 mm to 3 mm long, while the pubic louse is much shorter. The head louse is an obligate parasite that spends its entire life on the human host. Head lice feed exclusively on blood. Lice are unable to jump or fly, and transmission requires close contact. Transmission is thought to occur by head-to-head contact, sharing of headgear, or other direct contacts with fomites (inanimate objects that harbor the organism such as movie seats). Epidemiology Louse infestations affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide each year. They have been reported in all countries and all levels of society. It is estimated that pediculus capitis (head lice) affects six to 12 million people in the United States every year, but exact numbers are unknown as it is not a reportable disease. Outbreaks of head lice more commonly affect children three to 12 years old, with girls being affected more commonly than boys. In industrialized countries, small epidemics typically develop in schoolchildren whose tight social bonds allow for the rapid spread of the infestation.

  • Evaluation of Ivermectin for Safety, Efficacy and Cost Effectiveness in Management of Pediculosis in an Urban Area of India
    Original Research Article Evaluation of Ivermectin for safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness in management of Pediculosis in an urban area of India Rasheeduddin Mohammed1*, Reddy Prasad2 1Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology, Ayaan institute of medical sciences, Hyderabad. 2Tutor, Department of Pharmacology, MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Hokote, Karnataka. Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: Pediculosis capitis (head lice infestation) is an important public health issue in India. This can have social as well as health implications. We evaluated Ivermectin in management of this important health issue in an urban area of India. Aim: To evaluate safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of Ivermectin in management of Pediculosis. Methods: Around 20 patients of all age groups were included in the study. For patients more than 40 kg, 12 mg Ivermectin was given in single dose whereas those below 40 kg received 6mg single dose. Treatment was repeated after one week. Symptoms such as itching and head discomfort were evaluated along with Nit count. Patients were followed up for a period of one month. The cost of the therapy was estimated as part of this cost effectiveness study. Results: There was significant reduction in subjective symptoms of discomfort and itching at first week and also at final follow up. At the end of one month, 16 patients had complete resolution of pediculosis, 2 had partial response and 2 patients did not show significant improvement. The treatment cost for those above 40 Kg was Rs.50/- whereas for those below 40 Kg was Rs.30/-. Conclusion: Ivermectin can be an effective and safe alternative for treatment of Pedculosis in pediatric and adult age groups.

  • Management of Insecticide Resistance in Head Lice Pediculuscapitis (Anoplura: Pediculicidae
    MANAGEMENT OF INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE IN HEAD LICE PEDICULUSCAPITIS (ANOPLURA: PEDICULICIDAE: IAN F. BURGESS AND CHRISTINE M. BROWN Medical Entomology Centre. Cambridge Road. Fulbourn Cambridge CB I 5EL United Kingdom Abstract -In 1994 evidence was obtained that insecticide resistance in head lice was spreading in the United Kingdom and other countries. The situation was not being managed correctly by the health authorities in UK for two reasons: primary health care workers adhered to rigid procedures regardless of the changing clinical situation; infection control procedures were not applied to pediculicides as they would have been to microbial antibiotics. Many family physicians, unsure about accurate diagnosis of lice, and other practical aspects, stopped prescribing pediculicides because some products showed poor efficacy. Patients resorted to using unregulated products and home remedies. The approach now being adopted in UK incorporates aspects of integrated pest management employed against other public health pests. Using this methodology, any health care worker can assessthe reasons for treatment failure, whether due to inappropriate application, resistance or failure to kill louse eggs; decide the appropriate treatment approach and provide support for families, without becoming intensely involved themselves. Key words - Pediculosis, pediculicides, integrated pest management INTRODUCTION A variety of insecticides have been introduced for use against head lice (Pediculus capitis DeGeer) since the late 1940s.Some of them for commercial reasonsand some in relation to the appearanceof insecticide resistance.To date all the major groups of insecticide have been investigated for this appli- cation. In this context the use of insecticides for the treatment of human lice and other ectoparasites can be considered an unique form of antibiotic therapy.

The audio versions are accessible on iTunes or at www.pedcases.com/podcasts. Lice and Scabies Developed by Caleb Botta and Dr. Julie Martin for PedsCases.com. September 11, 2019. Introduction Hello, my name is Caleb Botta and welcome to PedsCases. I am a senior medical student from the Medical College of Georgia. I want to thank Dr. Julie Martin for her time in helping me create this podcast. Today I will discuss the presentation and treatment of two common parasites: lice and scabies. By the end of the podcast the learner will be able to: 1. Identify common clinical manifestations of lice and scabies infestations. 2. Apply available diagnostic methods to confirm the diagnosis. 3. List the first line treatments for lice and scabies 4. Develop an approach to the broader clinical context for when to choose which treatment strategy. Case Introduction Let’s start with a case. Sam is a nine-year-old boy who presents the last week of September for a well child visit. His only complaint is that his head has been itching for the past few days. Sam’s mom remembers that she received a letter after the first week of school saying someone in Sam’s class had been treated for lice, but after looking at his hair she has not seen any insects. They have tried using a permethrin shampoo that she bought over the counter, but it has not helped despite two uses seven days apart.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Of the three lice (head, body, and pubic louse) that infest humans, the body louse is the species involved in epidemics of louse- borne typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever, but all the three cause pediculosis. Their infestations occur today in many countries despite great efforts to maintain high standards of public health. In this review, literature searches were performed through PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, and EBSCOhost, with key search words of “Pediculus humanus”, “lice infestation”, “pediculosis”, and “treatment”; and controlled clinical trials were viewed with great interest. Removing lice by hand or with a lice comb, heating infested clothing, and shaving the scalp were some of the oldest methods of controlling human lice.

Three kinds of lice can be found on humans. The head louse and body louse are closely related. The crab louse is dif­ ferent from the other two in appearance and behavior. None of these three is found on any animal other than humans. The Head Louse Diagnosis of head lice is usually based on finding the eggs, or "nits" as they are also known, attached to the human hair, usually behind the ears and at the nape of the neck. How­ ever, eggs have been found on eyebrows, armpits, and even the chest. Less frequently they attach to caps and scarves. Positive diagnosis should be made by an entomologist, physician, or public health worker, because hair spray residue and naturally occurring flaking skin have been confused with eggs.
