Over the past 20-25 years, 15-20% of all children in Israel between 4 and 13 years of age have been infested with head lice. This is mainly due to the existence of ineffective pediculicides on the market. Objective: To examine the pediculicidal efficacy and safety of Prioderm Cream Shampoo in an open clinical study. Methods: The active ingredient of Prioderm Cream Shampoo is malathion (1%) and it was applied to the hair of infested children three times for 10 minutes at 5-day intervals. Results: Of 419 children examined, aged 6-14 years, from four schools in Jerusalem, 109 (26.0%) were infested with lice and eggs, while 110 (26.3%) were infested only with nits. All 109 louse-infested children were included in the study while 86 (78.8%) complied with the instructions for use. Treatment was successful in 79 children (91.8%), while failure was observed in 3 children after the first treatment and in 4 children after the third treatment. Although 21.5% of the children disliked the odor of the product, there were no significant side effects related to this formulation. Conclusions: The product was very effective in controlling louse infestations under clinical conditions and caused no serious side effects.&lt;/p&gt;
