A study on prevalence of scabies in a resettlement colony (slum area) and its association with some sociocultural and environmental factors.
A house to house survey as a part of mass treatment of scabies was done in one of the resettlement colonies of Delhi with a population of 9341 in 2035 families, to study some of the sociocultural and environmental factors in families having scabies patients. It was observed that overcrowding, sleeping habits due to limited sleeping space, sharing of linen, clothes and towels were some of the factors associated with scabies. There was no association between the size of the family and persons affected by scabies. The majority of the population were ignorant about the etiology and mode of spread of the disease.
