Scabies (caused by var. ) and pediculosis (caused by ) are infectious diseases common in educational institutions and long-term care centres. The aim of the study was to assess the scale of the phenomenon in confinement conditions favouring the spread of these parasitoses.
Data on the prevalence of scabies (2001-2015) and pediculosis (2008-2015) in Polish prisoners were provided by the Central Board of Prison Service. The information for the period between 2010 and 2015 in the Lublin Province was obtained from the District Inspectorate of the Prison Service in Lublin. Correlations between the prevalence of scabies and pediculosis and the number of prisoners were analysed, as well as correlations between the number of passes granted to prisoners and the prevalence of scabies and pediculosis in incarcerated individuals.
The prevalence of scabies and pediculosis in Polish prisoners has been estimated at 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively.
Pediculosis and scabies are still current issues in Polish prisons. Convicts returning from passes and new prisoners should be carefully examined and monitored for the presence of var. and invasion. Education of prisoners could be a promising tool in prevention of scabies and pediculosis in correctional settings.
疥疮(由 变种引起)和头虱病(由 引起)是教育机构和长期护理中心常见的传染病。本研究旨在评估禁闭条件下有利于这些寄生虫病传播的现象的严重程度。
波兰囚犯的疥疮(2001-2015 年)和头虱病(2008-2015 年)的流行数据由中央监狱管理局提供。2010 年至 2015 年期间卢布林省的数据是从卢布林地区监狱管理局获得的。分析了疥疮和头虱病的流行率与囚犯人数之间的相关性,以及囚犯通行证数量与监禁者中疥疮和头虱病流行率之间的相关性。
波兰囚犯的疥疮和头虱病的流行率分别估计为 2.3%和 1.9%。
疥疮和头虱病仍然是波兰监狱的当前问题。从通行证返回的罪犯和新囚犯应仔细检查和监测 是否存在 变种 和 感染。对囚犯进行教育可能是预防惩教机构中疥疮和头虱病的有前途的工具。
