Abstract:
Scabies is an ectoparasitic, highly contagious skin disease caused by an infestation of the
skin by the human itch mite, and the major cause of morbidity and disease burden in
developing countries. In 2017, the WHO recognised scabies as a neglected tropical disease.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the current management approach to scabies at primary
health care in the Deder district in order to develop a strategy that enhances the management
of scabies.
