Η ΦΘΕΙΡΙΑΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΤΡΙΧΩΤΟΥ ΤΗΣ ΚΕΦΑΛΗΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΠΡΟΣΧΟΛΙΚΗ ΚΑΙ ΣΧΟΛΙΚΗ ΗΛΙΚΙΑ

A SURVEY OF 6279 CHILDREN, 3-12 YEARS OLD, WAS CONDUCTED IN 47 NURSERING AND 56ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT DISTRIBUTION OF INFESTATION IS INFLUENCED BY SEX, AGE AND LIVING AREA. SIGNIFICANT HIGHER FREQUENCY OF LOUSE INFESTATION WAS NOTED IN GIRLS, IN CHILDREN LIVING IN RURAL AREAS, AND IN YOUNGERCHILDREN. SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IS ALSO THE SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, AND OF LESS IMPORTANCE THE HAIR LENGTH AND TYPE. THE FREQUENCY OF TRANSMISSION IN OTHER FAMILYMEMBERS AS WELL AS THE FREQUENCY OF SIMULTANEOUS INFECTION WITH SISTERS AND BROTHERS WERE INFLUENCED BY BED SHARING. ONLY 28% OF THE CHILDREN ARE CHECKED DAILY BY THEIR PARENTS FOR THE PRESENCE OF LICE. YOUNG CHILDREN ARE EXAMINED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE OLDER ONES. FOURTY THREE PER CENT OF THE CHILDREN REPORT THEIR INFESTATION IN SCHOOL PERSONNEL . ITCHING IS THE MAJOR SYMPTOM OF PEDICULOSIS. SUMMER IS THE TIME OF THE HIGHER LICE FREQUENCY.
