Middleton et al. Scabies Management in Institutions

Abstract
Scabies is a particular problem in semi-closed institutions such as residential settings for elderly people, children and those with learning disabilities; refugee camps and other settings for displaced persons; prisons; schools; hospitals and hostels. What many of these diverse places have in common is a range of transmission drivers which enable scabies to reach very high prevalence including: high densities of potential hosts, social behaviours involving prolonged contact, bed and clothes sharing, manual handling, reduced access to laundry facilities and immunocompromise. We describe the epidemiology of institutional scabies outbreaks across settings, and based primarily on recent and longstanding evidence from adult health care, we draw out general strategic priorities for case management and outbreak control. The tools and information necessary to carry out an epidemiological assessment of an institutional scabies outbreak are provided, along with guidance on control measures. A summary checklist of the key steps to take in responding to an institutional outbreak concludes the chapter.

Thank you to @nihrresearch for funding support.

This is part of the first comprehensive book on scabies, written by experts from across the world. You can order the full 31 chapter ebook and hardback for your uni/clinical library here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-26070-4

RT @josechenxu: Last week I attended #ESCAIDE2022, by @ECDC_EU. It was great to meet fellow researchers, and to learn about the work developed and lessons learned from the pandemic, including the modelling and the need to focus on advocacy in #refugeehealth.
Looking forward to the next meeting!
