Permethrin and ivermectin for scabies.

Currie, Bart J., McCarthy, James S.·2010·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

A 4-year-old boy is brought to a health center with sores on his arms and legs. He and several siblings receive a diagnosis of scabies. Crusted scabies is diagnosed in an elderly aunt in the same household. The family members are treated with topical permethrin, which disrupts the function of voltage-gated sodium channels in arthropods. The aunt is treated with oral ivermectin, which disrupts the function of chloride ion channels.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
