Abstract:
PURPOSE:The goal of the research was to determine the spreading of Sarcoptes scabiei and the incidence of scabies in the residents of particular districts of the Swietokrzyskie Voivodeship (Central Europe) from 1990 to 1998. METHODS:An epidemiological analysis of scabies incidents was performed, with a focus on the age and sex patterns of the population, seasonal incidence, and environmental conditions. In the entire area covered in the period studied, a total of 2064 cases of scabies were reported. The incidence of scabies was typically higher in rural areas than in cities. The most cases of scabies were noted in children and teenagers between 6 and 15 years of age. RESULTS:The research indicated that prevalence of the disease within a family is an important factor in scabies epidemiology in the Swietokrzyskie Voivodeship. The incidence of scabies is seasonal in its nature, as the majority of cases occurred in the autumn and winter months. CONCLUSION:The incidence of the disease can be reduced by improving socioeconomic and hygienic conditions and by implementing a proper system of social education, as well as by promoting more efficient health service.
