Abstract

 Background & Objective Despite progress in health, human lice are still considered as a health problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution of pediculosis in the cities covered by Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2016. Materials & Methods This was a cross-sectional descriptive and analytic study. Information from 7453 pediculosis patients was extracted from the Sina Electronic Health Record (SinaEHR® ) in a 4-month period (November 2016 to March 2017). We used Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, in order to evaluate the spatial distribution of the disease. Data was analyzed by using SPSS software and Graph pad software was used to plot the graphs. Results The study showed that 91. 2% of the total population was women and 64. 1% were adolescents aged between 7 and 18 years old. The highest infestation rates were in elementary students and children under the 6 years old were 42. 6% and 31. 8%, respectively. 64. 6% of pediculosis transmission were in schools and in 46. 3% of cases the method of transmission was direct. The spatial distribution of pediculosis in Mashhad University of medical sciences indicates that highest prevalence was in Khalilabad county and lowest prevalence county was in Kalat. Conclusion The results illustrate that elementary girls are more likely to expose lice infestation. Schools were the most probable places of infestation, and direct contact were the most common way of infestation. People with higher levels of education were less likely to be infected.
