Head lice () infestations are not a primary health hazard or a vector for disease, but they are a societal problem with substantial costs. Diagnosis of head lice infestation requires the detection of a living louse. Although pyrethrins and permethrin remain first-line treatments in Canada, isopropyl myristate/ST-cyclomethicone solution and dimeticone can be considered as second-line therapies when there is evidence of treatment failure.
头虱感染并非主要的健康危害或疾病传播媒介，但却是一个成本高昂的社会问题。头虱感染的诊断需要发现活虱。尽管除虫菊酯和氯菊酯在加拿大仍是一线治疗药物，但在有治疗失败证据时，肉豆蔻酸异丙酯/ST-环甲硅油溶液和二甲硅油可被视为二线治疗方法。
