Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In industrialized countries, epidemics of scabies are mainly described within families or in institutions such as healthcare settings. Control of institutional scabies is associated with a considerable working and economic burden, but guidelines for the management are scarce. RECENT FINDINGS: The prevalence of institutional scabies is probably underestimated. Identified risk factors for institutional scabies outbreaks include the institution type, extensive physical contact with patients and movement of patients, the existence of crusted scabies, a long diagnostic delay and failures in implementation of infection control or treatment plans.Atypical clinical features (hyperinfestation, scabies in the elderly or in children) may be misdiagnosed. Control of institutional scabies outbreaks relies on prompt recognition of the index case, constitution of an outbreak management team, determination of the extent of the outbreak and risk factors for spread, immediate implementation of infection control practices, adequate education of all involved persons, simultaneous treatment of cases and of all exposed individuals and concomitant environmental disinfection. Prolonged surveillance is imperative to eradicate scabies. SUMMARY: The inclusion of institutionalized patients in randomized controlled trials would be beneficial as present data concerning scabicide effectiveness are obtained from trials that recruited individual participants and do not take into account a global strategy.

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.
