Pubic Lice/Crabs Fact Sheet
Pubic Lice/Crabs Fact Sheet What are pubic lice/crabs? Also called crab lice or "crabs," pubic lice are parasitic insects found primarily in the pubic or genital area of humans. Pubic lice infestation is found worldwide and occurs in all races, ethnic groups, and levels of society. How do pubic lice spread? People with pubic lice are said to be “infested” not “infected.” Pubic lice usually are spread through sexual contact and are most common in adults. Pubic lice found on children may be a sign of sexual exposure or abuse. Occasionally, pubic lice may be spread by close personal contact or contact with articles such as clothing, bed linens, or towels that have been used by an infested person. Persons infested with pubic lice should be examined for the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases. What are the signs and symptoms of public lice? Signs and symptoms of public lice/crabs include itching in the genital area or presence of nits or crawling pubic lice. How long does it take for symptoms to appear? To understand this, we need to understand the life cycle. Pubic lice have three forms: the egg (also called a nit), the nymph, and the adult. Nit: Nits are lice eggs. They are hard to see. Nits attach to the hair shaft. They are oval and usually yellow to white. Pubic lice nits take about 6–10 days to hatch. Nymph: A nymph is an immature louse that hatches from the nit (egg). A nymph looks like an adult pubic louse but it is smaller.

SUMMARY The pubic or crab louse (Pthirus pubis), is a parasitic insect spending its entire life on human hair and feeding exclusively on blood. Humans are the only known host of this parasite. Pubic lice usually infest a new host by close contact between individuals, making sexual contacts among adults and parent child interactions the more likely routes of infestation. We report the case of a 4- year old male child, who was complaining from pruritus on the head area and around the eyes for several weeks. During the examination of the head, pubic lice and their eggs have been found on the eyelashes, eyebrows and scalp. The examination of other family members showed that the father but not the mother or the two bigger sisters were infested with pubic lice.

The OFFICIAL version is located on IHNET at the Policies & Procedures Home Page EFFECTIVE DATE: September 2006 IS0400: Scabies/Lice REVISED DATE: November 2010 REVIEWED DATE: February 2015 1.0 PURPOSE To prevent transmission of scabies and lice to patients and staff. 2.0 DEFINITIONS Scabies • Scabies is a contagious parasitic infestation caused by a mite, Sarcoptes scabiei. • Scabies infestations are identified by the following characteristics: o Skin penetration is visible as papules or vesicles. o Linear burrows formed by the mite under the skin. o Severe pruritus. These lesions commonly appear in interdigital spaces, anterior surfaces of wrists and ankles, axillae, skin folds, genitalia, belt-line and abdomen. Itching may be intense, especially at night and lesions may become secondarily infected due to scratching. Crusted (Norwegian ) scabies presents as a crusty, scaly dermatitis usually on hands and feet, including dystrophic nails. Some affected individuals may have a generalized erythematous eruption. Norwegian scabies is highly infectious owing to the large numbers of mites present. Definitive diagnosis of scabies infestation is by microscopic examination of mites extracted by a needle or scalpel (skin scraping). Lice Lice (pediculosis) are called ectoparasites because they live outside the host’s body. There are three types of human lice which are usually, but not always, confined to a certain part of the body. They are named according to the region of the body that they infest or their general appearance: head louse, body louse, and pubic or crab louse.

Three types of sucking lice infest humans: the Crab lice most commonly inhabit adults and are not found body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus Linnaeus, also on children prior to puberty. Infestation with crab lice is known as Pediculus humanus corporis; the head louse, said to result most often from contact during coitus.
