This descriptive, analytical study was carried out in 2003 to determine the prevalence of pediculosis capitis and some risk factors among primary-school pupils in Kerman. We selected 1200 pupils (53% girls) from 50 primary schools by multistage, systematic random sampling. Their hair was examined for head louse infestation: 45 (3.8%) were infected with lice, 43 (95.5%) girls and 2 (4.5%) boys. The highest rate of infestation was in 9-year-olds. There was a significant relationship between head louse infestation and sex (P < 0.0001), age (P < 0.05), parents' education (P < 0.0001), father's job (P < 0.01), family size (P < 0.01), length of hair (P < 0.0001) and having separate bathing facilities in the house (P < 0.0001).
这项描述性分析研究于2003年开展，旨在确定克尔曼地区小学生头虱病的患病率及一些风险因素。我们通过多阶段系统随机抽样，从50所小学选取了1200名学生（53%为女生）。检查他们的头发是否有头虱感染：45人（3.8%）感染了虱子，其中43人（95.5%）为女生，2人（4.5%）为男生。感染率最高的是9岁儿童。头虱感染与性别（P < 0.0001）、年龄（P < 0.05）、父母教育程度（P < 0.0001）、父亲职业（P < 0.01）、家庭规模（P < 0.01）、头发长度（P < 0.0001）以及家中是否有独立洗浴设施（P < 0.0001）之间存在显著关系。
