    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Dermatology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Scabies is a contagious skin infestation with significant public health implications.
    • Understanding historical trends and demographic impact is crucial for effective control strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the epidemiological trends of scabies in Poland over a 20-year period (1966-1986).
    • To identify demographic groups most affected by scabies and assess the disease's socioeconomic impact.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of national scabies case data from Poland.
    • Calculation of incidence rates per 100,000 inhabitants.
    • Analysis of seasonal variations and age-specific morbidity.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 1,675,213 scabies cases were recorded between 1966 and 1986.
    • Incidence peaked at 580.5/100,000 in 1968 and reached a low of 41.7/100,000 in 1986.
    • Children and teenagers (0-19 years) represented the highest proportion of cases, with infections occurring in families and institutions. Significant work absence was noted, totaling 1,836,234 sick leave days for adults aged 20-64.

    Conclusions:

    • Scabies presented a substantial public health burden in Poland during the study period, with notable fluctuations in incidence.
    • Children and adolescents were the primary demographic affected, highlighting the need for targeted prevention and control measures.
    • The disease resulted in considerable economic losses due to work absenteeism, underscoring its impact beyond individual health.
