摘要
ABSTRACT: Head lice infestations have become a problem in school children in Sacramento County. An open study was conducted to determine how widespread head lice infestations were among preschool and elementary school children in Sacramento County and to see how effective a newly marketed over‐the‐counter pediculicide containing 0.3% pyrethrins synergized by 3.0% piperonyl butoxide was. The public health nurse for this study visited the homes of all reported patients infested with head lice. She verified and provided the pyrethrins‐based treatment for 248 children, aged 6 months to 12 years. The children were Caucasian, Mexican‐American, black and other ethnic backgrounds and from low, middle and upper income levels. All the patients were successfully treated, and the school children were able to return to their classes in a short time. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
