“…Deşi leziunile caracteristice sunt intens pruriginoase, sub formă de papule sau eczematoase, trebuie avută în considerare şi posibilitatea apariţiei leziunilor atipice (15). Lipsesc date clare în ceea ce priveşte prevalenţa scabiei în timpul sarcinii.…”

Atât scabia, cât şi boala Lyme sunt boli infecţioase care necesită o atenţie sporită atunci când apar la gravidă. Dobândirea, prezentarea clinică şi cursul lor în timpul gestaţiei pot fi modificate din cauza unei dereglări a imunităţii celulare materne. Terapia farmacologică poate fi dăunătoare pentru mamă şi/sau pentru făt, fiind necesare consideraţii specifice în managementul acestor afecţiuni. Este necesară abordarea acestor boli infecţioase în mod distinct în cazul gravidelor, cu punerea în balanţă a riscurilor şi a beneficiilor tratamentului disponibil.

“…Scabies is a contagious skin infestation caused by parasitic mite (Sarcoptes scabiei var hominis) which is associated with pruritus, lesions, and rashes [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) named scabies as a neglected skin disease in 2009, and it is a major health problem in many impoverished nations.…”

Scabies is a serious global public health problem that may impact people from all socioeconomic types of life. Poverty and overcrowding appear to be the major causes of scabies infestation. The goal of this study was to determine the causes, risk factors, and awareness of scabies among the general population in the Wasit, Iraq. A total of 143 individuals were studied in this cross-sectional study at the Wasit province’s general hospitals/consulting dermatology rooms. Data collection extends from the 1st of April to the 1st of July 2021. A pre-tested questionnaire was adopted and filled through a face-to-face interview and indirect through an electronic platform published on social media. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. The sociodemographic features of the subjects revealed that there were 60 (42%) males and 83 females (58%). The majority (84.6%) of the respondents was from urban areas and (15.4%) were from rural areas. About (51.7%) of the participants have 5-7 members in their families. Scabies is a well-known dermatological disease, commonly seen in low socioeconomic and crowded families that share beds and towels. Thorough their medium education, participants have a good percentage of knowledge that scabies is contagious but curable.

“…Infestation with Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis mites is a global burden affecting individuals of all ages, classes and ethnicities [1–4]. According to Vos et al more than 200 million people worldwide suffer from this ectoparasitic infection, which is endemic in many tropical regions, especially in low-income communities [5].…”

Background Infestations with scabies mites are a global burden affecting individuals of all ages, classes and ethnicities. As poor sanitation and overcrowding favor the transmission of this highly contagious disease, epidemic outbreaks are frequently observed among displaced persons and asylum seekers. Due to the growing influx of refugees during the last years, public health authorities in host countries are frequently confronted with the challenge to treat individuals with diagnosed or suspected scabies promptly and effectively to avoid further spreading of the infestation. This study aimed to establish a straightforward and efficient algorithm for rapid screening and treatment of large numbers of patients with confirmed or suspected scabies infestations. Methods Forty-eight individuals (58% males, mean age 22.4 yrs.) from Syria with suspected scabies infestation were allocated to 3 colour-coded groups: (1) no signs or symptoms of infestation, (2) itch only, and (3) itch and typical skin lesions. Patients were treated with a single (group 1) or two doses of oral ivermectin at an interval of 7 days (group 2), or with a combination of 2 doses of ivermectin plus 2 applications of permethrin ointment at an interval of 7 days (group 3). Follow-ups were performed 4 weeks after initial treatments. Results All individuals with signs and/or symptoms of infestation had improved skin lesion; in 10/11 (90.9%) lesion had completely resolved. All individuals with initial itch only ( n = 32) reported improvement of its intensity or complete resolution. None of the patients of group 1 developed itch or skin lesions. The algorithm was reapplied in 4 individuals (8.3%) after 4 weeks and the outbreak was completely controlled after 8 weeks. Colour-coding ensured fast flow of information between health-care providers at the interfaces of the algorithm. Conclusions Our algorithm proved to be both highly efficient for treatment of large numbers of patients with suspected or diagnosed scabies infestation as well as for prevention of spreading of the disease. Hence, this algorithm is well suited for the management of scabies mass outbreaks.
