The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of scabies in an infested village; to educate the residents on self-treatment and prevention by the use of 5% monosulfiram soap; to evaluate the short term effectiveness of this intervention by determining, 2 weeks later, the compliance to self-treatment and prevention; and to determine the prevalence rate on the second visit. In 59 households (96.7% of the village) containing 313 persons, an educational session was held and a leaflet distributed on the use and availability of the soap. Thirteen persons (4.2%) from eight households (13.6%) had scabies. After 2 weeks, 7 persons (2.2%) (2 persisting and 5 new cases) from 5 households (8.5%) were infested. Thus a cure rate of 85% was obtained though the prevalence rate showed no statistically significant difference. Among the under 15 year olds, the numbers infected decreased from 10 to 3 while among the over 15 years olds, the numbers infected increased from 3 to 4, neither reading significance at the 5% level.
本研究的目的是确定一个受疥疮感染村庄的疥疮患病率；通过使用5%的单硫iram肥皂，对居民进行自我治疗和预防方面的教育；通过在两周后确定自我治疗和预防的依从性，评估该干预措施的短期效果；并确定第二次访视时的患病率。在59户家庭（占村庄的96.7%）、313人中，举办了一次教育活动，并分发了一份关于肥皂使用和供应情况的传单。来自8户家庭（占13.6%）的13人（占4.2%）患有疥疮。两周后，来自5户家庭（占8.5%）的7人（占2.2%）（2例持续感染和5例新病例）受到感染。因此，尽管患病率没有统计学上的显著差异，但治愈率达到了85%。在15岁以下的人群中，感染人数从10人减少到3人，而在15岁以上的人群中，感染人数从3人增加到4人，在5%的水平上均无统计学意义。
