Abstract

Human Scabies

Human scabies is a frequent infestation with a wide range of effects and presentations depending on the clinical context. Health institution and residential home epidemics provide a challenge to health and social care systems in industrialised, high-income environments. The downstream consequences of staphylococcal and streptococcal bacteremia caused by scratching have a major influence on the long-term health of communities in resource-poor environments. Scabies has been designated as a "Neglected Tropical Disease" (NTD) by the World Health Organization over the past decade. Has a widely acknowledged set of global diagnostic criteria that is being included into integrated NTD mass medication administration programmes in field settings. This review aims to summarise recent developments in our understanding of scabies and to highlight advocacy and research highlights that have implications for epidemic detection and management..
