Abstract:
Scabies is a common parasitosis, occurring worldwide and at any age that impairs the quality of life of patients and their families by the itching and the stigmatization. The main aims of therapy are destroying the mites Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis that infect the stratum corneum and reduction of the itching. This requires detailed clarification for the patients and the parents of affected children as the instructions for the use of the drugs and also the necessary additional steps are often not correctly followed. Many special features regarding the clinical symptoms and therapy in early childhood should be taken into consideration.
