“…This would need an explanation for the reason at that time. When compared to the prevalence study conducted by Çetinkaya et al [7] in Kayseri province, our results showed a regular increase, unlike the results of Çetinkaya et al [7]. It is difficult to explain the difference when we think that Kayseri province is also a busy student city.…”

Aim: Scabies is a pruritic skin disease caused by an ectoparasite named sarcoptes scabies var hominis. It sometimes makes endemics depending on lifestyles of communities. In this study, we point out that patients with scabies have increased in recent years. Methods: A retrospective review was carried out in the patients with scabies diagnosis between 2013January and 2018 July at the dermatology outpatient clinic of Karabuk Research and Training Hospital. The age and gender of the patients, and the season of diagnosis were recorded from the hospital database. Results: In this study, we found that the incidence of scabies increased from 0.4 % to 1% in the last 5 years in the dermatology outpatient clinic of our hospital (r=0,886 p=0.000). The mean age of scabies patients decreased from 49.7 to 31.4 within 5 years (r=-0,753 p=0,006). The female patients were much more than male patients (56% vs 44%), and their mean age was older than males (44 vs 37) (p=0,000). Conclusion: Scabies cases are increasing in number and the mean age of the patients is decreasing gradually at recent years. ÖzAmaç:Uyuz, sarkoptes scabies var hominis adlı bir ektoparazitin neden olduğu kaşıntılı bir deri hastalığıdır.Değişen hayat tarzlarına bağlı olarak endemiler yapmaktadır.Bu çalışmada uyuz tanısı alan hastaların son yıllarda arttığına dikkat çektik. Yöntemler: Karabük Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Dermatoloji polikliniğinde 2013 Ocak -2018 Temmuz arasında, uyuz tanısı alan hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi.Hastane kayıtları kullanılarak yapılan çalışmada,uyuz tanılı hastaların yaş ve cinsiyetleri alındı.Uyuz tanısının konulduğu mevsim not edildi. Bulgular:Çalışmamızda, son beş yıl içinde , hastanemiz dermatoloji polikliniğinde uyuz görülme sıklığının % 0.4 den %1'e kadar yükseldiğini saptadık (r=0,886 p=0,000). Uyuz tanısı alan hastaların yaş ortalamasının da, bu 5 yıl içinde 49.7'den 31.4 'e düştüğünü gözledik (r=-0,753 p=0,006) . Uyuz tanılı kadın hastalar daha fazlaydı (%56 vs %44) ve uyuzlu kadın hastaların yaş ortalaması erkek hastaların yaş ortalamasına göre daha büyüktü (44 'e 37) (p=0,000). Sonuç: Son yıllarda,uyuz tanısı konulan olgular artıyor ve uyuz görülme yaşı da düşüyor.

“…Pediculosis is an important health problem for primary school-age children in Turkey and in many parts of the world, including developed countries (25). Although lice infestation is less common in Turkey, it is still confronted today (26). The studies conducted on lice in Turkey are generally the review articles and focus on prevalence (24).…”

Objective: Today, diseases transmitted by insects and mites still remain an important public health problem. Therefore, the training received by health personnel and their experiences on this topic is important. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge and experiences of students, who were health personnel candidates, on insects and mites likely to be encountered in hospitals or on patients Methods: This study is cross-sectional. No sample selection was made and 1st -and 4th-grade students in midwifery and nursing departments constituted the universe. Independent-samples t-tests compared knowledge to identify differences by students ' experiences and education about insects and mites, χ2 tests compared frequency of correct knowledge answers according to experiences and education about insects and mites. Results:The participants stated that, in their daily lives, they mostly encountered cockroaches (77.9%) in their environment and lice (52.5%) on their bodies. In this study, the prominent finding was that both experiences and education were important in getting information on insects and mites. Students' ratio of thinking that they had sufficient knowledge on insects and mites, the ratio of recognizing insects and mites given in images, the mean scores of correct answers given to the propositions on insects and mites, and the knowledge of struggling methods were low. Conclusion:Today's changing environmental conditions have increased the risk of confronting epidemics related to insects and mites at any time. Therefore, it is highly important for health personnel, who are actively involved in epidemics and who consult the community, to receive effective training on insects and mites during the university period.

Echinococcosis is considered a zoonosis which also affects humans (to act as intermediate host), produced by tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus, of the five species, Echinococcus granulosus is the one that everyone is present except Antarctica.…”

Parasites that affect the skin in humans compromise health, but its epidemiological characterization is difficult due to the lack of official records. The purpose of this work was to describe some epidemiological characteristics of leishmaniasis, filariasis, echinococcosis, scabies and pediculosis as parasites that injure the skin. The present work was based on the documentary review of scientific literature in electronic format on the subject. It is concluded that there is no uniformity in the existing epidemiological studies on parasites that injure skin, and that this report provides information to the health agencies of the countries for the control of such a relevant public health problem.
