A survey of skin diseases was carried out in pre-school children in five Ujamaa villages in Rufiji district and 532 children (5.3% of the total population) were screened. The results showed that scabies was the commonest skin problem affecting 31% of the children. Primary pyoderma and fungal infections were relatively less common and accounted for 7.0 and 2.4% respectively. Staphylococcus aureus, Group A beta haemolytic streptococci and Corynebacterium diphteriae were the commonest pathogeneic bacteria isolated from both infected scabies and primary pyoderma. Tinea capitis was similarly the commonest fungal infection and Microsporium audouinii was the main pathogen. The high prevalence of scabies was attributed to poor hygiene, overcrowding with intimate personal contact. The low prevalence of pyoderma was due to the fact that we did not include secondarily infected scabies and eczema amongst the cases of pyoderma.
在鲁菲吉区的五个乌贾马村庄对学龄前儿童进行了皮肤病调查，共筛查了532名儿童（占总人口的5.3%）。结果显示，疥疮是最常见的皮肤问题，影响了31%的儿童。原发性脓疱病和真菌感染相对较少见，分别占7.0%和2.4%。金黄色葡萄球菌、A组β溶血性链球菌和白喉棒状杆菌是从感染疥疮和原发性脓疱病中分离出的最常见病原菌。头癣同样是最常见的真菌感染，奥杜盎小孢子菌是主要病原体。疥疮的高发病率归因于卫生条件差、过度拥挤以及亲密的个人接触。脓疱病的低发病率是因为我们在脓疱病病例中未包括继发感染的疥疮和湿疹。
