Abstract

Scabies is a global public health issue, with approximately 455 million new cases worldwide each year. Scabies is a parasitic skin disease caused by infestation with the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis that can lead to secondary skin infections such as impetigo. In 2017, scabies was added to the World Health Organization’s list of neglected tropical diseases renewing calls for effective management and control of the disease. Mass drug administration has emerged as an effective strategy to control scabies, especially in highly endemic settings. In this review, we detail scabies epidemiology and risk factors, clinical characteristics and diagnosis, as well as control options, and future areas for scabies research.

疥疮:现有知识和未来方向
疥疮是一个全球性的公共卫生问题,全世界每年新增病例约 4.55 亿例。疥疮是一种由疥螨变种引起的寄生性皮肤病,可导致脓疱疮等继发性皮肤感染。2017 年,疥疮被世界卫生组织列入被忽视的热带疾病名单,再次呼吁对该疾病进行有效管理和控制。大规模用药已成为控制疥疮的有效策略,尤其是在疥疮高度流行的环境中。在这篇综述中,我们将详细介绍疥疮的流行病学和风险因素、临床特征和诊断、控制方案以及疥疮研究的未来领域。
