Epidemiology of common transmissible skin diseases among primary school children in north-west Ethiopia.

M B Dagnew1, G Erwin.   

Abstract

A total of 1842 school children were examined for the occurrence of common transmissible skin infections in a rural area in North-West Ethiopia. The result showed a prevalence rate of 49.2%. Tinea capitis, impetigo, infected wounds and verrucae vulgaris were common. In addition the overall prevalence rate of lice infestation was 55.4%. The findings indicated the need to develop appropriate intervention programmes both at school and community levels.
