PEDICULOSIS o "Piojos en la Cabeza" GENERALIDADES Los vulgarmente llamados "piojos de la cabeza" (Pediculus humanus Capitis) son insectos que viven sobre el cuero cabelludo y cabellos del ser humano. Estos insectos miden en su adultez de 1 a 2 mm. Tienen seis patas que terminan en pequeñas garras ( las utilizan para prenderse firmemente al pelo) tórax, abdomen y poseen una cabeza pequeña con un aparato bucal preparado para la punción ( picadura) y succión ulterior de sangre. Estos parásitos pasan del estado de ninfa o larva a piojo adulto en tres semanas. Su promedio de sobrevida es de treinta días y durante ese tiempo cada hembra es capaz de poner 200 huevos o liendres. SINTOMAS El síntoma más frecuente de esta parasitosis es la picazón de la nuca y detrás de las orejas y es debido a que, cuando el piojo pica, inyecta una toxina en la piel antes de succinar la sangre. TRANSMISION El contagio, se lleva a cabo cuando una persona no infectada establece contacto con una parasitada o con alguno de sus elementos de uso personal como peine, cepillo, vestimenta, almohada, etc.

index search health books site map Head lice Head lice affecting the scalp (Pediculosis capitis) is a very common problem, especially in school children. There are various treatments, but whatever approach is used they can be a persistent or recurring nuisance. Symptoms The main symptom, if noticed by the individual, is an itchy scalp. This is sometimes especially so behind the ears. Causes The cause is a tiny insect which lives on the scalp, and feeds by sucking blood through the skin. The head louse grips on to the hair with its six tiny claws. The female lays its eggs (nits) in sacs which are glued to a hair. These take seven to ten days to hatch. The lice then take seven to fourteen days to become mature and ready to reproduce. The total numbers of lice thus rise very quickly. Head lice do not jump, fly, or swim. They spread by direct contact, "walking" from one hair or head to another. They happen in the best circles, and do not mean that you or your child are unclean or dirty , in fact some people say that head lice prefer clean heads. Diagnosis About half of the children affected will notice itching of their scalps which draws attention to the problem. The lice themselves are small, about the length of a match head, and may be difficult to see, as their colour is often close to the hair colour.

15. Handbook Of Ocular Disease Management - Pediculosis & Phthiriasis pediculosis Phthiriasis SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS pediculosis is an eyelidinfestation by either Pediculus humanus corporis (body) or http://www.revoptom.com/handbook/sect1g.htm

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Pediculosis is an eyelid infestation by either Pediculus humanus corporis (body) or Pediculus humanus capitus (head). Phthiriasis, which is actually the most common eyelid infestation, is caused by Phthirus pubis (pubic lice, sometimes referred to as crab lice). Pediculus are 2 to 4 mm long, and typically infest the hair of the patient. Infestation of the cilia is rare and only occurs in the worst cases. Phthirus are 2mm long, and have a broad-shaped, crab-like body. Its thick, clawed legs make it less mobile than the Pediculus species and lend it to infesting areas where the adjacent hairs are within its grasp (eyelashes, beard, chest, axillary region, pubic region). They rarely infest the scalp. Ocular signs and symptoms include visible organisms on the scalp, hair, eyelashes or beard; visible blue skin lesions (louse bites); reddish brown deposits (louse feces); secondary blepharitis with preauricular adenopathy; follicular conjunctivitis; and, in severe cases, marginal keratitis. The patient often complains of bilateral ocular itching and irritation. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY The Pediculus and Phthirus organisms look similar the each other and interbreed freely. Both types lay eggs on the hair shafts and remain firmly adherent, resisting both mechanical and chemical removal. The Pediculus organism moves well and can be passed from person to person by either close contact or by contact with contaminated bedding. Conversely, Phthiriasis are slow moving, and cannot typically be passed unless cilia is brought into close proximity with infested cilia. Both species are associated with crowded conditions or poor personal hygiene.

Pediculosis and Pthiriasis Eyelid infestation by Pediculus humanus. Phthirus pubis, also known as pubic or crab louse, attached to a lid. Signs and symptoms: Pediculosis refers to eyelid infestation by Pediculus human-us corporis (body) or capitus (head). Pthiriasis refers to eyelid infestation by Pthirus pubis (pubic louse, sometimes referred to as crab louse). Eyelid infestation is almost always Pthirus pubis. Pediculus is an organism 2-4 mm long that typically infests the hair of the patient. Infestation of the cilia is rare and only occurs in the worst cases. Pthirus is 2mm long with a broad-shaped, crab-like body. Its thick, clawed legs make it less mobile than the pediculus species and lend it to infesting areas where the adjacent hairs are within its grasp (eyelashes, beard, chest, axillary region, pubic region). Rarely does Pthirus infest the scalp. Both organisms suck the blood of the host, and Pediculus humanus may serve as a vector of diseases such as typhus and trench fever. Ocular signs and symptoms include visible organisms within the scalp, hair, eyelashes or beard; visible blue skin lesions (louse bites), reddish brown deposits (louse feces), secondary blepharitis with preauricular adenopathy, follicular conjunctivitis and, in severe cases, marginal keratitis. The patient often presents with bilateral ocular itching and irritation. Superinfection of bites can lead to preauricular gland swelling.
