454 patients were treated with quassia tincture for head lice. At examination one week later only three patients had hatched lice. There was firm evidence that these patients had been reinfested. The treatment procedure was acceptable both to patients and to staff and no side-effects were observed. As resistance to clophenothane has appeared, alternative cures are needed. This study confirms earlier reports on the effectiveness of quassia tincture, which seems to be a useful alternative to clophenothane. At present the recommended treatment is two applications with an interval of one week.
454名患者接受了苦木酊剂治疗头虱。一周后检查时，只有三名患者有孵化出的虱子。有确凿证据表明这些患者再次受到了感染。该治疗方法患者和工作人员都能接受，且未观察到副作用。由于对氯菊酯已经出现耐药性，需要其他治疗方法。本研究证实了早期关于苦木酊剂有效性的报告，苦木酊剂似乎是氯菊酯的一种有用替代方法。目前推荐的治疗方法是间隔一周使用两次。
