The aim of the work was to study the prevalence of pediculosis capitis among schoolchildren in rural areas of Lublin Province in Eastern Poland and to examine its correlation with socio-economic conditions. A group of 42759 schoolchildren aged between 6 and 15 years from 52 rural primary schools were examined. The level of unemployment, number of physicians and number of nurses per 10000 inhabitants were examined in the area of experiment. We achieved the following results: a total of 682 children were found to be infested with Pediculus humanus capitis, mean prevalence was 1.6%. The girls were more frequently infected than boys (75% for girls and 24% for boys). The children most frequently affected were those aged 6 (1.6%) and 8 to 12 years (1.6-2.1%). The children least affected were those aged 13 to 14 years (0.8-1.1%). The infestation rate was strictly correlated with the number of nurses per 10000 inhabitants. There was no relationship between the level of unemployment or the number of physicians and the infestation rate on experimental area. Our investigations seems to confirme that the prevalence of P. h. capitis is influenced by the level of primary health care, particulary quality of school nurses' work.
这项工作的目的是研究波兰东部卢布林省农村地区学童头虱病的患病率，并考察其与社会经济状况的相关性。对来自52所农村小学的42759名6至15岁的学童进行了检查。在实验区域考察了失业率、每10000名居民中的医生数量和护士数量。我们获得了以下结果：总共发现682名儿童感染头虱，平均患病率为1.6%。女孩比男孩感染更频繁（女孩为75%，男孩为24%）。受影响最频繁的儿童是6岁（1.6%）以及8至12岁（1.6 - 2.1%）的儿童。受影响最小的是13至14岁的儿童（0.8 - 1.1%）。感染率与每10000名居民中的护士数量密切相关。在实验区域，失业率或医生数量与感染率之间没有关系。我们的调查似乎证实，头虱的患病率受初级卫生保健水平的影响，特别是学校护士的工作质量。
