Abstract:
One hundred and one (9.02%) of 1119 students in 13 primary schools were found to have scabies. It was more in girls and in children below the age of 8 years.

Treatment and health education with the help of the teachers worked out well. Lack of proper treatment may lead to an epidemic of scabies.
