Pediculosis - Lice What Is Pediculosis? Pediculosis is a common dermatitis caused by infestation by one of several varieties of lice: 1) pediculosis pubis (pubic louse), caused by Pthirus pubis (pubic louse, "crabs"); 2) pediculosis corporis (body louse), and 3) pediculosis capitis (head louse). The infestation can be diagnoses by a number of symptoms such as: Itching with excoriation (deep scratches). Pruritus (itching) is generally intense and very uncomfortable. It is this discomfort that causes the deep scratching (excoriations). Pruritic infected papules are common and may be seen. Nits (eggs) can be found on hair shafts and the lice themselves are often found on the skin or on clothing. Occasionally, sky-blue macule (flat bumps) occur on the inner thighs or lower abdomen signifying pubic louse infestation. The infestation can involve the scalp, trunk or pubic area. ] It usually occurs where people are living in overcrowded situations. It is also common after close intimate contact, shared clothing, sleeping in the same bed or sitting on an infested toilet seat. Head lice are commonly spread by sharing combs, brushes or hats. The Diagnosis The diagnosis can be confirmed by the characteristic symptoms and appearance of the excoriations and/or finding the lice themselves or their nits. Absolute confirmation is by scraping off a nit or louse and directly visualizing them under the microscope.

Treatment Failures Failures in the treatment of head lice can be due to four causes. Inadequate application of product Lice are resistant to the insecticide used Failure to retreat to kill nymphs newly emerged from eggs Reinfection By approaching the problem systematically, you can usually work out which aspects are significant in a particular case. Each case is different. Cause 1. Inadequate application of product. In this problem the chemical does not come into contact with the lice for long enough at a high enough concentration. This is usually due to failure to cover all hairs adequately with the chemical. Cover from roots to tip. This problem occurs most commonly in treating pediculosis in long hair. One way of ensuring that coverage is adequate is to comb the product in with a normal comb. The end result is a head with every hair coated from root to tip, and lying parallel with its neighbours. The "parallel" aspect ensures that the product has been combed through and makes subsequent use of a fine tooth comb easier. The product should be on the hair for 20 minutes.

Pediculosis is an animal parasite which usually is found in the pubic hair of men and women. Also called crabs or pubic lice, it may also be found on the hair of the chest, underarm and face. Crabs do not live on scalp hair. What are the Symptoms of Pediculosis? The main symptom of pediculosis is itching. The itching is thought to be caused by an allergy to the bite of the louse. You may not always have itching. There may also be tiny dark brown spots on the skin or undergarments where they come in contact with the affected area. How is Pediculosis Spread? Crabs are most often spread during bodily contact with a person who has crabs. Occasionally, lice may be spread by towels, clothing, bed sheets or toilet seats. Adult lice can live up to ten days, while eggs (nits) live no longer than one month in clothing or bedding. Prevention of Pediculosis.

HEAD LICE (PEDICULOSIS) GUIDELINES FOR CONTROL General Information Head lice are tiny insects that live on the human scalp; they feed on human blood. Although head lice are transmissible, the potential for epidemic spread is minimal. Head lice are not known to transmit infectious agents from person-to-person, but a sensitivity or allergic reaction to the saliva of the bites causes itching. Secondary infections can result from excessive scratching. The greatest harm associated with head lice is related to the misguided use of caustic substances to eliminate the lice (Pollack, 2000). Signs/Symptoms Most infestations in school-age children are asympotamic. When infestations are sympotomatic, itching is the primary symptom. Persistent scratching of the head and back of the neck should be cause for evaluation for suspected infestation. Depending on the degree of sensitization, erythematous macules, papules or hive-like reactions may be seen. While uncommon, secondary bacterial infections may occur. Because lice are more active at night, sleeplessness is another potential symptom.

Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo Volver al comienzo Existen tres tipos de piojos: piojos de la cabeza, piojos del cuerpo y piojos púbicos . Los piojos de la cabeza infestan el cuero cabelludo y son más fáciles de ver en la nuca y sobre las orejas. Es posible ver huevos pequeños (liendres) sobre el cuerpo de los cabellos. Son muy parecidos a las escamas de la caspa , pero se adhieren firmemente al cuerpo del cabello en vez de pender del cuero cabelludo. Los piojos de la cabeza no constituyen un problema médico importante y no transmiten otras enfermedades como lo hacen los piojos del cuerpo, pero sí se diseminan fácilmente. Entre los factores de riesgo se pueden mencionar: condiciones de vida de hacinamiento y encierro. Los piojos de la cabeza se diseminan rápidamente entre los niños en edad escolar. Es importante anotar que tener piojos no es un indicador de higiene deficiente o estatus socioeconómico bajo.
