Background: Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease. Objectives: To determine the occurrence of scabies among Yemeni patients and to identify the complication and treatment. Materials and methods: This retrospective study was conducted at two private clinics in Aden, Yemen. We reviewed all medical files of the patients who diagnosed with scabies and treated in our clinics during the period January 2020 to December 2021. The collected data were processed by the statistical software package SPSS version 22 and statistical analysis was done by estimating rates, means and standard deviations. Chi-square test was used and p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The study patients were (59.8%) males and (40.2%) females. The mean age of all patients was 21.6 ± 16.8 years. The patients of the age ≤ 10 years were predominant (31.8%) followed by patients of the age group 11-20 years old with (21.5%). The affected students represented the higher number and percentage (34.6%). The second infected groups were the workers with (14.9%) and housewives with (14.7%) (p = 0.000). The poor level of personal hygiene was predominant with (66.8%). Impetigo complication represented (9.2%) followed by post inflammatory hyperpigmentation in (6.3%) patients, scabiophobia in (2.7%) patients and ecthyma in (1.6%) patients. 44% patients were treated with benzyl benzoate lotion and 32.1% with permethrin lotion and oral antibiotic. Conclusion: The occurrence of scabies in the age group ≤ 10 years were predominant. Impetigo was the first complication.

“…Not only air borne viruses are contracted by individuals living in crowded home but also contagious skin infections like Scabies. Scabies is a major public health concern caused by the microscopic mite transmitted through direct close contact and is mostly reported more in people who live in close proximity where proper hygiene is not maintained (Badwi & Yousuf, 2022). In University settings during Covid-19 adult students were seen to reduce their peer-to-peer interactions, normal schooling was replaced by virtual education.…”

Objective: This manuscript tries to report the effect of crowing on children's and adults' well-being. Crowding is a social phenomenon where living conditions have also shown worsening effects on a child's adequate development and execution of behavior. Further, crowding also has a worsening effect on individual working and family space and happiness. Theoretical framework: To present the complete and comprehensive approach to the effects of crowding, theoretical descriptions were presented from international scientific publications, reports, and empirical studies. The manuscript presents the recent development in crowing over the last few years. Methodology: Very little research has been directed to investigate the impact of crowding as a social phenomenon on children's and adults' well-being. It is important to understand the markers related to crowding which may affect individual happiness and child development. Therefore, this narrative review serves as a tool to investigate different aspects of crowding. Mainly the articles from the years 2000 to 2023 have been included from the various scientific platforms that have relevance to the proposed topic. Results and conclusion: Crowding affects family life and may negatively impact the bonding between parents and children, especially during the pandemic. Crowding has important aspects of social inequality which have been neglected mainly by underdeveloped or overpopulated cities or countries. These poor living conditions may also serve as the main problem associated with neurological and emotional well-being in all types of problems resulting in emotional and personality issues. These negative effects may also impact children and adults neurological and professional incompetencies may serve longitudinal consequences mainly for socioeconomic status. The main reason could be understood as lower-income group individuals live in small houses, which could compromise their individual space, and personal and professional lives in various ways. The chapter aims to define all the above-mentioned areas with some suggestive strategies that may be beneficial in living in the new normal from the perspective of individual well-being and the formation of living law conditions in a country. Originality/value: The manuscript is a narrative review highlighting the importance of the social phenomenon crowding on an individual's social, personal and professional development. The manuscript also establishes the link between crowding and neurological phenomena from the perspective of adults' well-being and child development Further, children may also show negative and long-term consequences for residing in overcrowded home spaces and individual professional life may also be affected. The manuscript is essential to ensure and modify the government rules and ensure child and adult development from the perspective of interpersonal spaces.
