Pediculosis pubis is caused by Phthirus pubis (diptera: anoplura) commonly known as crab louse, an obligatory ectoparasite, found on human hair and requires human blood to survive. Pubic lice can be found on pubic hair, underarms, thigh and leg hair, beard and rarely on eyebrows and eyelashes. They are rarely found on scalp hair. Spread of lice occurs mostly by sexual contact but spread via non-sexual contact although rare has also been reported. I present the case of a middle-aged woman with pubic lice. No lice/nits were found in underarm hair, eyebrows or eyelashes. A review of literature is enclosed.

This study compared prevalence rates of most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in heterosexual and homosexual men who made respectively 12,201 and 5324 visits to an STD clinic over 18 months. Overall, homosexual men were significantly (p \< 0.001) more likely than heterosexual men to have gonorrhea (30.31\% vs. 19.83\%), early syphilis (1.08\% vs. 0.34\%) and anal warts (2.90\% vs. 0.26\%) but less likely to have nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) (14.63\% vs. 36.40\%, p \< 0.001), herpes genitalis (0.93\% vs. 3.65\%, p \< 0.001), pediculosis pubis (4.30\% vs. 5.35\%, p \< 0.005), scabies (0.42\% vs. 0.76\%, p \< 0.02), and genital warts (1.68\% vs. 6.69\%, p \< 0.001). In most cases the differences in rates remained significant (p \< 0.05) when corrected for age and race. It is speculated that higher rates of gonorrhea and syphilis result from a larger mean number of sexual contacts, more potential sites of infection, and more hidden and asymptomatic disease, while the lower rates of the other STD result from a lesser susceptibility of anal mucosa to the causative agent(s) of NGU, herpes genitalis, and venereal warts or from a lack of pubic apposition (pediculosis pubis).
