Pediculosis hub Pediculosis is an infestation of lice. Three types of lice that infest humans: head lice, body lice, and crab or pubic lice. Head lice are usually located on the scalp, crab lice in the pubic area and body lice along seams of clothing. Lice are transmitted by close personal contact with an infested persons head or by sharing articles of clothing and personal items such as hats, batting helmets, headbands, scarves, caps, combs and brushes.

6. Handbook Of Ocular Disease Management - Pediculosis & Phthiriasis pediculosis Phthiriasis. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS. pediculosis is an eyelid infestation by either Pediculus humanus http://www.revoptom.com/handbook/sect1g.htm

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Pediculosis is an eyelid infestation by either Pediculus humanus corporis (body) or Pediculus humanus capitus (head). Phthiriasis, which is actually the most common eyelid infestation, is caused by Phthirus pubis (pubic lice, sometimes referred to as crab lice). Pediculus are 2 to 4 mm long, and typically infest the hair of the patient. Infestation of the cilia is rare and only occurs in the worst cases. Phthirus are 2mm long, and have a broad-shaped, crab-like body. Its thick, clawed legs make it less mobile than the Pediculus species and lend it to infesting areas where the adjacent hairs are within its grasp (eyelashes, beard, chest, axillary region, pubic region). They rarely infest the scalp. Ocular signs and symptoms include visible organisms on the scalp, hair, eyelashes or beard; visible blue skin lesions (louse bites); reddish brown deposits (louse feces); secondary blepharitis with preauricular adenopathy; follicular conjunctivitis; and, in severe cases, marginal keratitis. The patient often complains of bilateral ocular itching and irritation. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY The Pediculus and Phthirus organisms look similar the each other and interbreed freely. Both types lay eggs on the hair shafts and remain firmly adherent, resisting both mechanical and chemical removal. The Pediculus organism moves well and can be passed from person to person by either close contact or by contact with contaminated bedding. Conversely, Phthiriasis are slow moving, and cannot typically be passed unless cilia is brought into close proximity with infested cilia. Both species are associated with crowded conditions or poor personal hygiene.

Pediculosis DESCRIPTION: Pediculosis is an infestation by lice Characteristics of lice: Feed solely on human blood by piercing the skin, injecting saliva, and then sucking blood Move quickly A mature adult female lays 3-6 eggs (nits) a day. Nits are 0.8 mm long, white, and appear cemented to the base of the hair. Nits may survive three weeks when removed from host Two species of lice infest humans: Pediculus humanus has two subspecies, the head louse (capitis), and the body louse (corporis). Both species are smaller than 2 mm, are flat, wingless, and have three pairs of legs that attach closely behind the head. Phthirus pubis (pubic or crab louse): resembles a sea crab and has widespread claws on the 2nd and 3rd legs.

The most typical symptom of scabies is intense itching, particularly at night. Scabies and its associated itching occur most often between the folds of the skin, such as at the wrists and elbows, between the fingers, and in the general area of the navel and beltline. Infants and children sometimes get scabies on the head and scalp, or on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. How do you get scabies? Scabies is mainly transmitted from one person to another through close contact with an infested person, or by sharing his or her personal articles, such as clothing or bed linen. If you think you may have been exposed, or if you experience intense itching, consult your physician. Can you get scabies from pets?

HPSD Home Public Health Disease Prevention Communicable Disease ... Non-Reportable Pediculosis Pediculosis (head lice, body lice, pubic lice, cooties, crabs) What is pediculosis? Pediculosis is an infestation of the hairy parts of the body or clothing with the eggs, larvae or adults of lice. The crawling stages of this insect feed on human blood which can result in severe itching. Head lice are usually located on the scalp, crab lice in the pubic area and body lice along seams of clothing which travel to the skin to feed. Who gets pediculosis? Anyone may become louse infested under suitable conditions of exposure. Pediculosis is easily transmitted from person to person during direct contact. Head lice infestations are frequently found in school settings or institutions. Crab lice infestations can be found among sexually active individuals. Body lice infestation can be found in people living in crowded, unsanitary conditions where clothing is infrequently changed or laundered. How is pediculosis spread?

Alphabetical Listing Travel Body Lice (Pediculosis) What are body lice? Body lice are parasitic insects that live on the body and in the clothing or bedding of infested humans. Infestation is common, found worldwide, and affects people of all races. Body lice infestations spread rapidly under crowded conditions where hygiene is poor and there is frequent contact among people. Are body lice infestations common in the United States? Body lice are found only in homeless, transient populations who don't have access to changes of clothes or bath. Infestation is unlikely in anyone who bathes regularly. Where are body lice found? Body lice are found on the body and on clothing or bedding used by infested people; lice eggs are lain in the seams of clothing or on bedding. Occasionally eggs are attached to body hair. Lice found on the hair and head are not body lice; they are head lice. Can body lice transmit disease?

Parasitic Skin Infections Topics [General] Scabies Pediculosis Creeping Eruption Pediculosis Infestation by lice. Pediculosis may involve the head (by Pediculus humanus capitis ), the body ( P. humanus corporis ), or the genital area ( Phthirus pubis ). Head lice and pubic (crab) lice live directly on the host; body lice, in the garments. Infestation is widespread in facilities that are overcrowded or inadequate for personal hygiene or clean clothing. Body lice are important vectors of organisms that cause epidemic typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever. Symptoms, Signs, and Diagnosis P. humanus capitis is transmitted by personal contact and by such objects as combs and hats. Without regard to social status, it is common among schoolchildren and less common among blacks. Although localized predominantly on the scalp, it sometimes involves the eyebrows, eyelashes, and beard. Pruritus is severe, and excoriation of the scalp, sometimes with secondary bacterial infection, may occur. Moderate discrete posterior cervical adenopathy is frequent. In children, a generalized, nonspecific dermatitis is occasionally caused by lice infesting only the scalp. The scalp is inspected, preferably with a magnifying lens: Small, ovoid, grayish white nits (ova) are seen fixed to the hair shafts, sometimes in great numbers (see Plate 114-1 ). Unlike scales, they cannot be dislodged; they mature into lice in 3 to 14 days. Lice may be found (less often than nits) around the occiput and behind the ears.

P ediculosis and scabies are closely related skin conditions caused by arthropods. Although these conditions typically cause severe itching, they generally are benign. Pediculosis and scabies have similar treatments. Pediculosis The three lice species that infest humans are Pediculus humanus capitis head louse (Figure 1, left), Phthirus pubis crab or pubic louse (Figure 1, right), and Pediculus humanus corpus body louse. All three insects are obligate human parasites. Contrary to popular belief, these insects do not hop, jump, or fly. Rather, they are transmitted by person-to-person contact. Despite the introduction of new treatments, the frequency of lice infestation may be increasing. One explanation may be the development of resistance to current treatments.
