“…22 Like most studies conducted in Iran and elsewhere in the world, the prevalence of the head lice in females of this study was statistically more significant than that of the males. 13,[23][24][25] Behavioral differences such as having long hair, covering the head with scarves and headdresses, and having large volumes of hair and more close head-to-head contact in girls can all contribute to the growth of head lice and the higher prevalence of infections with the parasite in females. 26,27 In this study, a statistically significant relationship was observed between the head lice infection and age so that the highest and lowest rates of infection were found in the age group of 6-10 and less than 6 years, respectively.…”

Background and aims: Pediculosis is one of the most common parasitic diseases that affect a wide range of age groups. The prevention of head lice infections promotes the physical and mental health of people in the community. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of head lice infections and the factors affecting them in those who referred to health centers in Gerash County from 2011 to 2018. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on patients suspected with head lice infections in health centers in Gerash. These infections were diagnosed by observing adult lice, nymphs, or nits on the head with the help of a magnifying glass. The collected data were then analyzed using SPSS software, version 22 and P˂ 0.05 was considered as the significance level. Results: In general, 66410 patients suspected with head lice were examined, of whom 2,547 cases (3.83%) were reported with confirmed infections including 2395 female (94.03%) and 152 male (5.97%) cases. The highest levels of infections were reported in the age group of 6-10 years while the lowest levels of infections were found in children less than 6 years of age. A significant statistical relationship was observed between head lice and gender, age, season, and the place of residence, and year of infection (P<0.05). Conclusion: Due to the increasing trend of head lice infections in recent years, pediculosis is still considered a health problem. Therefore, training on personal hygiene, adequate access to health services, and early diagnosis and treatment can play an important role in the prevention and elimination of head lice.

“…Normally this gene plays a part in ensuring that the cells in the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) stick together. In HHD this adhesion of cells is weakened, resulting in acantholysis in areas of skin prone to friction [2,3]. Thereby, heat, sweating, infection and contact irritants can exacerbate skin lesions, for which reasons the disease has a relapsing and remitting course.…”
