It is transmitted from person to person via direct skin contact.
At standard room conditions infectious mites can survive for up to
36 hours off the host.
Pruritic response to infestation of human mite Sarcoptes scabiei.
Severely itchy lesions typically present as small papules with
noticeable curvy or straight burrows commonly located in skin
folds.
Secondary signs may include general rash, urticaria, eczema,
excoriation, and impetigo
Patients may be asymptomatic for the first 2-4 weeks of
infestation

Evidence appraisal


Control of an epidemic can only be achieved by
treatment of the entire population at risk.
Ivermectin, the only oral treatment, is not approved
for scabies in the US. In an outbreak of scabies in a
nursing home, residents, staff, and frequent visitors
should all be treated even if they are not symptomatic.
Ivermectin is useful in treating patients with
Norwegian or crusted scabies, or who are debilitated.
Ivermectin has no serious reported adverse effects.

Patients who are first exposed to scabies often do not develop
symptoms for several weeks.
A well documented case report detailed the spread of scabies in a
day care center, in which 21% of the staff and children were
eventually infected. More than 570 family members of the
children also became symptomatic.
The standard treatment for scabies is 5% permethrin cream
applied from the neck down and left.
Alternatives include 1% lindane, which should be avoided in
children and pregnant women. In adults, ivermectin is effective as
a single oral dose.

Conclusion
當同一病房中爆發3例疥瘡(Scabies)感染時,
因照護的醫療人員是最長期接觸此病人者,為
預防感染,故建議可讓護理站工作人員使用治
療疥瘡之藥物 ,以防疫情再度擴大。
Plain language explanation
疥瘡為高傳染性的疾病,醫護人員為第一線照
護者,屬於被傳染的高危險群,雖然各位沒
有症狀,但是我們仍然建議各位醫護人員使
用治療疥瘡藥物,以預防疥瘡藉由醫護人員
之傳播而造成疥瘡的爆發。

Evidence appraisal

Evidence regarding the effectivess of permethrin
vs lindane is conflicting. This systematic review
found four RCTs comparing these agents. Two
small trials found clinical cure at 28 days was
greater with permethrin, but the other two RCTs,
including the largest of the four trials, failed to
show any significant difference in clinical
outcome. Permethrin, however, to be more
effective in controlling persistent itch (Level A)

Evidence appraisal

An RCT comparing the use of lindane with
oral ivermectin found similar cure rates at 15
days with both treatments (Level A)

A subsequent RCT found that although the
effects of topical lindane and oral ivermectin
were similar at 2 weeks, ivermectin produced
significanlty greater cure rates at 4 weeks
(Level A)

Comparison of the efficacy of topical 1% lindane vs 5%
permethrin in scabies: a randomized, double-blind study

Permethrin provided an improvement rate
of 84.6% after two weeks, whereas lindane
was effective only in 48.9% of patients.
CONCLUSION: Permethrin (5%) cream was
found to be significantly more effective in
the treatment of scabies in comparison with
lindane in this study, and it seems that it
could be an alternative treatment.
The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) 2008 Issue 2
Cost effectiveness
In The UK, permethrin is at least 10 times more
expensive per treatment (£5.52 per 30 g of
cream),than benzyl benzoate (£0.62 per
100ml),and about twice as expensive as
crotamiton (£2.99 per 100ml) and malathion
(£2.35 per 100ml)

Conclusion




Patients with documented scabies should be
isolated and placed in a single ward to
optimize staff infection control precautions.
it may be asymptomatic for the first 2-4 weeks of
infestation, so if have outbreak of scabies , the staff
who contract scabies patient need give prevent
medication.
在給予預防性藥物的選擇上,國內並無文獻所提之首
選藥物permethrine ,而院內之替代藥物有B.B lotion、
scalphen以及Lindane。
療程花費上相較於其他治療藥物, B.B lotion的費
用較低。
Plain language explanation
雖然Permethrin或Ivermectin效果優於
Lindane,但本院並無Permethrin或
Ivermectin可供選擇,所以我們決定建議各
位醫護人員使用Lindane。
謝謝大家 !!
