Abstract

Pediculosis is a common disease which affects all age groups and has a worldwide distribution. This disease has close relationships with the socioeconomic and cultural conditions of societies. These two factors play a great role in its spreading. The disease which is under the influence of above-mentioned instances, could be controlled by observing hygienic points. PEDICULOSIS CAPITIS is due to infestation by head louse and their infestation to head. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was designed to determine the prevalence of PEDICULOSIS CAPITIS among 200 families of AFGHAN IMMIGRANTS in Bardsir camping place near KERMAN city. In the present study, 1680 AFGHAN IMMIGRANTS were examined in Autumn 1998. They were from different age groups - from below 10 years old up to 60 years. The mean of their age was 19.8 years; 40% of them were male and 60% were female. Prevalence of the disease was 31.6% (39.8% in women and 18.7% in men); and the highest rate of prevalence was observed in the age group which had less than 10 years old (53.2%). The most affected scalp regions were post auricular (38.8%) and then occipital (26.1%) regions. It was observed that there is a significant statistical relationship between infection and educational level, dimension of family (number of family members; or in better words, its over crowdedness), and use of common comb (P<0.05). So it is obvious that observing personal hygienic, learning about ways of infection and methods of prevention, and finally providing suitable hygienic living places for them could be important in decreasing the infection and its prevalence.
