Seven hundred seventy-two&amp;nbsp;students (350 [45.3%] girls, 422 [54.7%] boys) were evaluated with combing&amp;nbsp;for the presence of head lice, collection of fecal samples, and examination of&lt;br /&gt;
	the perianal region for intestinal parasites using the cellophane tape method.&amp;nbsp;The overall infestation rate for head lice was 6% (n = 46). Nine children had&amp;nbsp;evidence of nits only (1.2%), whereas living lice and nits or eggs were found&amp;nbsp;in 37 children (4.8%). Girls were significantly more commonly infested&amp;nbsp;(12.9%) than boys (0.2%). Of the parameters evaluated, socioeconomic level,&amp;nbsp;number of rooms per family, and size and weight of the children were statistically&amp;nbsp;significantly different between the children with and without lice.&lt;br /&gt;
	Although the infestation rate of children with intestinal parasites was higher&amp;nbsp;in the head louse-infested group (23.9%) than in the group of children&amp;nbsp;without lice (17.6%), the differences were not statistically significant.&lt;/p&gt;
