UNLABELLED
Background : Pediculosis capitis is a common parasitic infection of children. In this study we assessed the prevalence of head pediculosis among the middle schoolchildren in the urban and rural areas of Fars province, southern Iran.
METHODS
All middle schoolchildren ages 11-14, in all the urban and rural areas of the province were screened for head lice infestation by examining their hair and scalp. The parents of the infested children were also examined. The study was repeated in the different seasons in the same areas. Moreover, the infested children were treated with permethrin shampoo and re-examined one week later for any relapse.
RESULTS
The general prevalence of head lice infestation in middle school students was 0.23% in autumn, 0.27% in winter and 0.11% in spring. In all three seasons, pediculosis capitis prevalence was higher among females and in the rural areas. Treatment with permethrin shampoo was markedly more successful in males from both regions in all months except the urban areas in spring.
CONCLUSION
The results show that pediculus capitis is generally uncommon among Fars Province middle schoolchildren. It is needed that health providers promote heath education programs especially in the rural areas.

背景：头虱病是儿童常见的寄生虫感染。在本研究中，我们评估了伊朗南部法尔斯省城乡地区中学生头虱病的患病率。
方法
对该省所有城乡地区11 - 14岁的中学生进行检查，通过检查头发和头皮筛查头虱感染情况。对受感染儿童的家长也进行了检查。在同一地区的不同季节重复进行该研究。此外，对受感染儿童用氯菊酯洗发水进行治疗，并在一周后重新检查是否复发。
结果
中学生头虱感染的总体患病率在秋季为0.23%，冬季为0.27%，春季为0.11%。在所有三个季节中，头虱病患病率在女性和农村地区更高。除春季城市地区外，在所有月份，氯菊酯洗发水治疗在两个地区的男性中明显更成功。
结论
结果表明，头虱病在法尔斯省中学生中总体上并不常见。卫生服务提供者需要推广健康教育项目，特别是在农村地区。
