A scabies epidemic was studied in a university hospital dialysis unit. Itching in patients was initially attributed to uremic pruritus, and diagnosis of the epidemic was delayed until cases occurred among the staff. Sixteen cases (seven patients and nine staff) were identified by survey questionnaire and dermatologic examination. Application of 1% lindane lotion (Kwell, Reed and Carnrick, Piscataway, NJ) to all patients dialyzed in the unit and the entire staff eradicated the epidemic. A dialysis unit-associated nosocomial scabies epidemic has not been reported before and may mimic uremic pruritus in dialysis patients.
在一家大学医院的透析科室对疥疮流行情况进行了研究。患者最初的瘙痒被归因于尿毒症瘙痒，直到科室工作人员中出现病例，才确诊了此次流行疫情。通过调查问卷和皮肤科检查共确认了16例病例（7名患者和9名工作人员）。对该科室所有接受透析的患者及全体工作人员使用1%林丹洗剂（疥得治，里德和卡里克公司，新泽西州皮斯卡塔韦）后，疫情得到了控制。此前尚未有透析科室相关的医院疥疮流行疫情的报道，且这种疫情可能会在透析患者中表现为类似尿毒症瘙痒的症状。
