Abstract

Background: Scabies is referred to the infestation of skin by an ectoparasite, Sarcoptes scabiei. Having considerable financial consequences, this disease is a public health concern in several countries. In this review, we aimed to determine the current status of scabies in different provinces of Iran.

Methods: Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Scientific Information Database (SID), Sci-explore, Civilica, Magiran, Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology and Elmnet databases were searched to find the related data in the time period within 2000-2022. To have a better insight into the status of prevalence of scabies in Iran, a meta-analysis and meta-regression was performed.

Results: A total of 943 relevant studies were retrieved from the databases, and 62 eligible studies met all the needed criteria for inclusion in this systematic review. Scabies was investigated and reported in at least 22 and 21 provinces of Iran respectively. Most of the studies were conducted in Tehran, Razavi Khorasan, Hormozgan, Fars and Guilan Provinces. Positive samples of scabies belonged to humans, sheep, goats, dogs, rabbits, mice and gazelles. Meta-analysis showed that the overall estimated presence of scabies in Iran during 2000-2022 was 7% (95% CI 4.7-10.3%, P< 0.001).

Conclusion: Infestations due to S. scabiei in Iran occur in different geographical locations and different climates. As a neglected tropical disease, the literature about the burden of scabies in Iran is inadequate. The present review highlights the importance of development of comprehensive strategies for the diagnosis and control of scabies, especially the provinces with high infestation rates.

在伊朗，疥疮作为一种被忽视的热带病:2000-2022年期间的荟萃分析系统综述。

背景:疥疮是指皮肤被一种体外寄生虫疥疮感染。这种疾病造成了相当大的经济后果，在一些国家已成为一个公共卫生问题。在这篇综述中，我们旨在确定疥疮在伊朗不同省份的现状。方法:检索Google Scholar、PubMed、Scopus、Science Direct、Scientific Information Database (SID)、Sci-explore、Civilica、Magiran、伊朗信息科学技术研究所和Elmnet等数据库，检索2000-2022年的相关数据。为了更好地了解伊朗疥疮流行状况，进行了荟萃分析和荟萃回归。结果:从数据库中共检索到943项相关研究，其中62项符合纳入本系统评价所需的所有标准。分别在伊朗至少22个省和21个省调查和报告了疥疮。大多数研究是在德黑兰、呼罗珊、霍尔木兹甘、法尔斯和吉兰等省进行的。疥疮阳性样本来自人类、绵羊、山羊、狗、兔子、老鼠和瞪羚。荟萃分析显示，2000-2022年期间伊朗疥疮的总体估计存在率为7% (95% CI 4.7-10.3%， P< 0.001)。结论:伊朗不同地理位置、不同气候条件下均有疥螨的发生。作为一种被忽视的热带疾病，有关伊朗疥疮负担的文献是不充分的。本综述强调了制定疥疮诊断和控制综合战略的重要性，特别是在疥疮高发省份。
