“…In the present study, when using the comb method, it was found a lower occurrence of active infestation than those found in northeastern Brazil (Pilger et al, 2008), central Chile (Neira et al, 2009), and central Argentina (Toloza et al, 2018).…”

The present study aims to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of active pediculosis and to compare the efficacy and sensitivity of the vacuum method with the comb method and the visual inspection with a magnifying glass in order to determine the best methodology to detect active pediculosis among schoolchildren from Paraná state. Each child was examined by the three methods in sequence and a playful activity was introduced to increase the children likelihood to participate in the study. Additionally, hair characteristics and other risk factors as sex, age, and area of living were take into consideration to measure epidemiological aspects. From a total of 358 schoolchildren from southern Brazil, overall pediculosis prevalence was 45.5%, while active pediculosis prevalence was 13.1%. Regarding active pediculosis, there was no statistical difference among sex. However, nine-year-old girls were most likely to have active pediculosis. The vacuum method was 5.96 and 11.29 times more efficacious than the magnifying glass method and the comb method, respectively, and also had higher sensitivity (74.5%) in detecting active pediculosis. When analyzing hair characteristics, children with long and wavy/curly hair were more often diagnosed by the vacuum method than children with short and wavy/curly hair. The vacuum method was the most effective method and proved to be an optimal option to detect active pediculosis among schoolchildren, mostly in children with wavy/curly hair.

“…Sua alta prevalência relaciona-se com a baixa disponibilidade de água e com irregularidades nas práticas de higiene, situação que declinou na primeira metade do século XX, pela melhora em ambas as situações (13) . Os indicadores sociais do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) apontam que 93% das crianças brasileiras entre 0 a 14 anos de idade residem em domicílios particulares com saneamento inadequado (14) , sem esgotamento sanitário de rede geral ou fossa séptica.…”

RESUMO:O espaço escolar é associado à alta infestação pelo piolho de cabeça. Este trabalho objetivou caracterizar os determinantes sociocomportamentais e a vulnerabilidade de pré-escolares à infestação por Pediculus humanus capitis no município de Aracaju, estado de Sergipe. A pesquisa de campo exploratória foi realizada de junho a agosto de 2014, na microrregião do bairro Augusto Franco, no domínio familiar (unidades domésticas) e escolar (Escola Municipal de Ensino Infantil). A análise dos dados utilizou a estatística descritiva, teste Quiquadrado de Pearson e Odds Ratio. Aproximadamente de 64% (30/47) dos entrevistados recebem até 1 salário mínimo e possuem residência própria, a quantidade de filhos foi entre 2 e 3 crianças. 30% tiveram piolho, destas, 40% realizaram tratamento medicamentoso e 13,3% catação manual. Questões como a pediculose devem ser consideradas no contexto da situação, com metodologia participativa e dialógica no contexto familiar e escolar. DESCRITORES: Educação infantil; Pediculus humanus capitis; Promoção da saúde. DETERMINANTES SOCIOCOMPORTAMENTAIS E VULNERABILIDADE DE CRIANÇAS SOCIO-BEHAVIORAL DETERMINANTS AND THE VULNERABILITY OF CHILDREN DURING EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION TO PEDICULOSISABSTRACT: Schools have a high rate of head lice infestations. The aim of this study was to characterize the socio-behavioral determinants and the vulnerability of early childhood education students to infestations by Pediculus humanus capitis in the city of Aracaju, Sergipe state. The exploratory field study was conducted from June to August 2014, in the micro region of the Augusto Franco neighborhood, in the family domain (households) and school (Municipal Early Childhood Education Center). Data analysis used descriptive statistics, Pearson's Chi-square test and Odds Ratio. Approximately 64% (30/47) of respondents receive up to 1 minimum wage and have their own residence, the number of children was between 2 and 3 per interviewee. 30% had lice, of these, 40% were treated with medication and 13.3% used manual removal. Issues such as lice infestation should be considered in the context of the situation with dialogue and a participatory methodology in the family and school context. DESCRIPTORS: Early childhood education; Pediculus humanus capitis; Health promotion.

“…Para confirmar la infestación se recomienda peinar y usar como herramienta el peine microacanalado contra liendres. La presencia de liendres adheridas firmemente a ¼ de pulgada de la base del cabello puede indicar, mas no confirmar, que haya una infestación; si se ubican a más de ¼ de pulgada sugieren que la persona estuvo infestada y, por lo tanto, no es necesario iniciar tratamiento, pues estas liendres no son viables (47). Cabe resaltar que las liendres a menudo se confunden con otras partículas en el cabello, como caspa, gotas secas de espray para el cabello o polvo (47).…”

La pediculosis es la infestación de la piel y el cuero cabelludo más frecuente en humanos. Esta dermatosis es causada por el ectoparásito Pediculus capitis, conocido popularmente como “piojo” y, en la mayoría de los casos, se transmite por contacto directo con una persona infestada. Esta enfermedad muestra una amplia distribución mundial y, aunque nadie está exento de contraerla, afectaparticularmente a la población infantil, traduciéndose en ausentismo, bajo rendimiento escolar y problemas desde el perfil psicosocial del paciente. Si bien la pediculosis no parece tener mayor importancia clínica, puede ocasionar complicaciones graves; por la falta de conocimiento entre la población y las dificultades en su control, debería considerarse un problema de salud pública en Colombia. Se describen los hallazgos más recientes de la biología molecular delos piojos, su ciclo de vida, las manifestaciones clínicas, la técnica idónea para su identificación, las opciones terapéuticas disponibles y la resistencia a las mismas.
