Extractions: La pediculosis es tan antigua como la humanidad. En los últimos 25 años asistimos, en todo el mundo, a una epidemia de pediculosis. Lo que antes era patrimonio de las poblaciones con insuficientes hábitos higiénicos, hoy se ha convertido en la preocupación constante de las madres de niños de todos los grupos sociales. El piojo de la cabeza es un parásito pequeño pero visible a simple vista, que mide entre 2,5 y 3,5 mm. Las hembras son más pequeñas que los machos. Se movilizan rápidamente por el cuero cabelludo, y pueden avanzar hasta 23 centímetros por minuto. Se alimentan de sangre humana.

Extractions: by Marian Brown, CH Parents faithfully teach their children how to cross the street safely, not to talk to strangers, and that sharing is the right thing to do. However, with sharing we need to add some clarification. Sharing toys and books is fine, but, sharing hats, combs, and other personal care items can lead to spreading germs, bacteria, and diseasenamely head lice! Head lice are non-discriminatorythey pay no heed to race, religion, sex or economic status. Yes, even the cleanest, most impeccably groomed child can become infected infected with head lice and in turn infect the whole family. Some information is now showing that head lice in fact having an easier time infecting hair that is "squeaky" clean. Across the nation several school districts have faced or are facing head lice epidemics. This too is being blamed on el nino. (Some speculation is that warmer weather keeps the lice more active.) But, whatever the cause, the infestation happens very quickly. It is a simple process. Chidden often share hair combs, barrettes and hats, allowing the head lice to leave one home (your hat) for a new one the other child's hair. Fortunately, head lice nits are easy to spot. They are tiny, white or pearly colored eggs that attach themselves to the hair. (See illustration at top) They will not easily flake off like dry scalp or dandruff. The lice themselves are dark colored, similar to fleas, but almost crab-shaped in appearance. It is common to find nits, but no lice.

Extractions: Pediculosis (head lice, body lice, pubic lice, cooties, crabs) What is pediculosis? Pediculosis is an infestation of the hairy parts of the body or clothing with the eggs, larvae or adults of lice. The crawling stages of this insect feed on human blood which can result in severe itching. Head lice are usually located on the scalp, crab lice in the pubic area and body lice along seams of clothing which travel to the skin to feed. Who gets pediculosis? Anyone may become louse infested under suitable conditions of exposure. Pediculosis is easily transmitted from person to person during direct contact. Head lice infestations are frequently found in school settings or institutions. Crab lice infestations can be found among sexually active individuals. Body lice infestation can be found in people living in crowded, unsanitary conditions where clothing is infrequently changed or laundered. How is pediculosis spread? For both head lice and body lice, transmission can occur during direct contact with an infested individual. Sharing of clothing and combs or brushes may also result in transmission of these insects. While other means are possible, crab lice are most often transmitted through sexual contact.

http://www2.state.id.us/dhw/cdp/factsheets/lice_fact_sheet.htm

Extractions: Pediculosis (or lice) is an infestation of the hairy parts of the human body or clothing with the eggs, larvae or adult lice. At the crawling stage, they feed on human blood, which may result in severe itching. Head lice are usually located on the scalp; crab lice in the pubic area; and body lice along seams of clothing, where they then travel to the skin to feed. What are the symptoms of pediculosis? Usually, the first sign of an infestation is itching or scratching in the area of the body where the lice feed. Itching at the back of the head or around the ears should lead to an examination for head louse eggs (nits) on the hair. Itching around the genital area should lead to an examination for pubic lice or their eggs. It is easier to see nits than crawling lice. Intense scratching may result in infection. Nits are oval, whitish, about 1-3 mm in size and attached to the base of the hair shaft. How is pediculosis spread?

En él se destacan aspectos morfológicos: insecto áptero (sin alas), cuerpo aplanado en sentido dorso-ventral, movilidad de las patas, garras prehensiles, así como aspectos biológicos: aparato bucal chupador, capacidad de reproducción y resistencia del huevo a tratamientos (lo que facilita la permanencia del insecto como ectoparásito permanente). La Clínica, en tanto, muestra lesiones dérmicas producto de la acción directa de hematofagia y complicaciones como impetiginización de las zonas de rascado enérgico. El diagnóstico orienta hacia una anamnesis dirigida y al examen físico preferentemente de las zonas de mayor infestación. La epidemiología se centra en los escolares y muestra algunas formas de transmisión. El tratamiento, al ser uno de los contenidos con mayor obsolescencia, se presenta en sus aspectos fundamentales: basado en el uso de insecticida de probado efecto pediculicida, en dosis y tiempo de exposición -de acuerdo con indicaciones del laboratorio que lo produce- y la necesidad de removerlo a través del lavado del cabello al cumplirse el tiempo de exposición.

Pediculosis may involve the head (by Pediculus humanus capitis ), the body ( P. humanus corporis ), or the genital area ( Phthirus pubis ). Head lice and pubic (crab) lice live directly on the host; body lice, in the garments. Infestation is widespread in facilities that are overcrowded or inadequate for personal hygiene or clean clothing. Body lice are important vectors of organisms that cause epidemic typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever. Symptoms, Signs, and Diagnosis P. humanus capitis is transmitted by personal contact and by such objects as combs and hats. Without regard to social status, it is common among schoolchildren and less common among blacks. Although localized predominantly on the scalp, it sometimes involves the eyebrows, eyelashes, and beard. Pruritus is severe, and excoriation of the scalp, sometimes with secondary bacterial infection, may occur. Moderate discrete posterior cervical adenopathy is frequent. In children, a generalized, nonspecific dermatitis is occasionally caused by lice infesting only the scalp. The scalp is inspected, preferably with a magnifying lens: Small, ovoid, grayish white nits (ova) are seen fixed to the hair shafts, sometimes in great numbers (see Plate 114-1 ). Unlike scales, they cannot be dislodged; they mature into lice in 3 to 14 days. Lice may be found (less often than nits) around the occiput and behind the ears.

Unfortunately we have little control over this problem and are prepared for an infestation at any time. During the past week or so several cases of head lice have been discovered. The children involved have been sent home for treatment and will return as soon as all nits are removed. Sometimes this becomes an arduous task for parents and often upsetting when children return to school and are sent home again when a school check shows nits are still present. We maintain a "no nits" policy at BRES. This is the only way the lice problem can be kept under control. Please check your child's head frequently. All students will be checked by parent volunteers following Christmas Break. In the meantime any questions you might have can be addressed by Public Health at 825- 3385.

http://www.adpc.purdue.edu/PhysFac/rem/eh/pedicul.htm

Extractions: General Characteristics: This picture represents adult head lice, male and female, and their nits, or eggs. The nits are attached to a human hair. The picture is of course substantially enlarged compared to the real organisms, which are described as being "the size of a sesame seed" in some publications. Pubic lice are somewhat smaller. Control and Prevention: a) Head lice (2-3mm with a flat elongated body) are spread by the communal use of combs, brushes, hats, or personal contact. Control is achieved by washing the hair with a shampoo that contains a pesticide. There are many brands of lice control shampoos that can be obtained over the counter at most pharmacies. Combs, brushes, clothing, and bedding should be washed in hot water and dried normally. a) Pubic lice (1.5 to 2mm with a crab like body) are usually spread by sexual contact but crowding clothing together in lockers or dorms cannot be discounted. Control is achieved by washing the infested hair with a shampoo that contains a pesticide. Clothing and bedding should be washed in hot water and dried normally. c) Body lice (similar to Head lice but more robust) are spread by the sharing of unwashed clothing and in overcrowded living conditions. Control is achieved by washing the body with a shampoo or soap that contains a pesticide. Clothing and bedding should be washed in hot water and dried normally.

http://www.sfsu.edu/~shs/skinclinic/lice.htm

Extractions: Lice are bloodsucking members of the insect family that firmly attach to hairy skin and the seams of clothing. They cause itching when they inject saliva to obtain a blood meal. They affect all ages and social strata; however, head lice most often affect children, and pubic lice, known in the vernacular as "crabs", affect sexually- active individuals. Pubic Lice (Pthirus pubis) - This is contracted by close contact hence, it is considered a sexually-transmitted disorder. Itching is the primary symptom but individuals may notice orange debris, which is crab excreta. Lice can be identified as individual, gray-brown, 1 mm to 2 mm, crab-like insects clinging to the pubic hair. Also, a nondescript rash may be generated by allergy to the crabs combined with scratching. Body Lice (Pediculus humanus corporis) - Not nearly as common as pubic lice, body lice are usually found in the seams and interstices of clothing. They may cause individual itchy bumps on the chest. The latter should prompt a look at recently-worn clothing. Presumptive treatment can be considered if circumstances suggest this infestation. Treatment is identical to that for pubic lice. Head Lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) - The head louse is a problem mainly for children and occasionally causes mini-epidemics in schools. Head lice cause scalp itching and can be found at the scalp line near the ears and the back of the head. Excessive shampooing may make them difficult to find. Sometimes, only the 1 mm cocoon-like nits (eggs) attached to base of hairs can be detected. Children and adults with head lice are treated the same as pubic lice except that repeat treatments in one week and attention to nit removal (using white vinegar and a fine flea comb) are usually recommended.

http://www.urologychannel.com/std/crabs.shtml

Extractions: Overview Pediculosis pubis, known as crabs or crab lice, is an infestation with the crab louse ( Phthirus pubis ), a millimeter-sized insect that infests the pubic hair, feeds on human blood, and multiplies rapidly. It uses the crablike claws on its legs to grasp the hair of its host, on which female lice lay eggs. Eggs hatch into nits within 5 to 10 days and grow into egg-laying lice in about the same amount of time. A crab louse lives for about 6 weeks, but dies within 24 hours without blood. They do not pose a serious health threat, but are irritating, contagious, and indicate a risk for other STDs. Causes and Risk Factors Crab lice are transmitted commonly during sexual intercourse, when the louse moves from the pubic hair of its host to the pubic hair of the partner. Oral sex can lead to infestation of the eyelashes, eyebrows, face, chest hair, or scalp. They also may be acquired through contact with infested clothing or bedding. Poor hygiene is associated with the spread of crab lice.

Head lice are frequently found in schools and day care centers, and are easily spread from person-to-person. How are head lice spread? Head lice are spread through direct head-to-head contact with an infested person or indirect contact with lice-carrying objects such as combs, brushes, hats or scarves. Since nits (louse eggs) must be laid by adult lice, the chances of nits being spread from person-to-person are minimal. Do animals spread head lice?
