“…In this study we found a significant association between gender and pediculosis capitis (p<0.001). Likewise with the results of ISSN 2598 0580 the study of Assaedi et al (2018) which got p=0,000 [12]. Other results from Khamaiseh (2018) p = 0.012 [11].…”

“…But Different to the results of research in elementary school children in South Jordan by Khamaiseh (2018) was 20.4% [11]. In another study by Assaedi et al (2018) showed that the infestation was 64.2% [12]. The difference in the prevalence of pediculosis capitis in various studies can be caused by differences in risk factors at the place where the study was conducted.…”

“…In this study, the prevalence of infestation was significantly higher among girls ( p -value = 0.023) only 5.91% of males were infected compared to 94.08% of females. The reported results were in agreement with the data reported by Speare and Buettner, 1999 , Ko and Elston, 2004 , Takano-Lee et al, 2005 , Motovali-Emami et al, 2008 , Toloza et al, 2009 , Rukke et al, 2011 , ALBashtawy and Hasna, 2012 , Abd El Raheem et al, 2015 , and Assaedi et al (2018) that the significant relation of head lice with gender and girls have a higher risk of pediculosis than boys, due to different behaviors and lifestyle between both sexes.…”

“…In many developed countries, the prevalence of Pediculosis capitis increased in the last two decades despite the improvement of hygienic conditions and the effective methods of treatment ( Burgess, 2004 , Kim et al, 2004 ). Few studies were conducted in Saudi Arabia about the awareness, attitude, and practices of the head lice and its treatment ( El-Mehmady, 1995 ; Bahamdan et al, 1996 , Al-Saeed et al, 2006 , Bosely and El-Alfy, 2011 , AL-Megrin, 2015 ; Al-Zanbagi and Al-Hashdi, 2016 , Al Abdullah and Kaki, 2017 , Assaedi et al, 2018 , Moussa et al, 2018 ). The control of lice infestation continues to be a difficult problem due to the uncontrolled modes of transmission and the relative deficiency of the available treatments ( Combescot-Lang et al, 2015 ).…”

“…The prevalence of lice infested students in this study was 88.4% and nits were found in 90.9% of students. This rate of infestation with head lice is very concerning because it is higher than those reported for similar studies among school-age children [19][20][21][22]. A higher proportion of younger children were infested with both head lice and nits, which is consistent with a previous study in Peru by Leeshaft et al [21] that reported that children<12 y old had higher proportion of head lice infestation than older children (0-11 y 64.7% vs. ≥ 12 y 15%).…”
