Resumen de Lice and scabies
Scabies and pubic lice are parasitic infections of the skin that are predominantly transmitted by close person-to-person contact. The principal symptom for both infections is itching. Diagnosis is established by clinical examination for pubic lice and clinical suspicion supplemented by microscopy for scabies. A single application of permethrin cream is the treatment of choice for both infections. Recent sexual partners should also receive treatment.
