An outbreak of scabies in a school for children with learning disabilities.

R Marshall1, L Barkess-Jones, S Sivayoham.   

Abstract

An outbreak of scabies was detected in autumn 1992 at a school for children with learning disabilities. Because of the scale of the outbreak all the children at the school, and their contacts, were treated on one 'mass treatment day'. Scabies is still widely misunderstood and carries a social stigma, which makes investigation and control more difficult than it would otherwise be.
