Infectious cutaneous diseases are very common, especially in certain geographic and tropical regions. Sometimes they may simulate other dermatoses, ordering verification of diagnosis with particular investigations. Dermoscopy is among one of the most important tools readily available in the outpatient setting for the dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. In this up-to date review, literature concerning the various dermoscopic features of parasitic, viral, dermatophytic and bacterial cutaneous infections is composed. In addition artefacts as well as practical issues in dermoscopy usage are discussed; with the aim to empower dermatologists to promptly and non-invasively diagnose and manage cutaneous infections and infestations.

Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor effects. In this review, we discuss the history, pharmacology, multimodal actions, indications in dermatology and tropical medicine, therapeutic and prophylactic use of ivermectin in COVID-19, safety, adverse effects, special considerations, and drug interactions of ivermectin.

Background: Scabies (caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis) and pediculosis (caused by Pediculus humanus) are infectious diseases common in educational institutions and long-term care centres. The aim of the study was to assess the scale of the phenomenon in confinement conditions favouring the spread of these parasitoses.

Methods: Data on the prevalence of scabies (2001\–2015) and pediculosis (2008\–2015) in Polish prisoners were provided by the Central Board of Prison Service. The information for the period between 2010 and 2015 in the Lublin Province was obtained from the District Inspectorate of the Prison Service in Lublin. Correlations between the prevalence of scabies and pediculosis and the number of prisoners were analysed, as well as correlations between the number of passes granted to prisoners and the prevalence of scabies and pediculosis in incarcerated individuals.

Results: The prevalence of scabies and pediculosis in Polish prisoners has been estimated at 2.3\% and 1.9\%, respectively.

Conclusions: Pediculosis and scabies are still current issues in Polish prisons. Convicts returning from passes and new prisoners should be carefully examined and monitored for the presence of S. scabiei var. hominis and P. humanus invasion. Education of prisoners could be a promising tool in prevention of scabies and pediculosis in correctional settings.

This study was conducted to estimate the incidence and the effects of associated risk factors of scabies and head lice on displaced people in Cham Mishko camp, Zakho city, Duhok Province, Iraq. The study included 1300 internally displaced people (IDPs) who visited the dermatology clinic and health care center in Cham Mishko camp from January 2018 to December 2019. Participants\’ bio-information was collected on special questionnaire form after receiving permission from the camp\’s health authorities and verbal consent from the participants. Monthly weather data were collected from Duhok Directorate of Meteorology and Seismology. The total rate of ectoparasites was 81.2\% (45\% for scabies and 36.2\% for head lice). Ages from 1\–10, 21\–30, and 31\–40 years showed the highest rates with scabies (48.1\%, 46.7\% and 46.1\%, respectively), while the highest rates of head pediculosis were at ages from 1\–10 and 11\–20 years (40\% and 36.6\%, respectively). Scabies rate was slightly higher in males than females (46.6\% vs. 43.4\%), while the rate of head pediculosis was significantly higher in females than males (58.2\% vs. 13.9\%). Families with more than ten people showed the highest rates of scabies and head pediculosis (49.5\% and 74.5\%). Scabies was more common in cold months than in summer while head pediculosis was more common in hot months. The number of scabies and head pediculosis cases increased by 123 and 85 cases, respectively, in 2019. It is inferred that the effects of scabies and head pediculosis in IDPs will be considerable, with a higher carriage rate than other studies in Iraq.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate scabies and pediculosis cases in the city of Kayseri and to contribute to the epidemiological data in Turkey.
Methods: Data for the present study were obtained from the Kayseri Directorate of Public Health. The distribution of lice and scabies accor- ding to age, sex, and years was evaluated retrospectively.
Results: A total of 3908 scabies and 4762 pediculosis cases have been reported from the central and peripheral districts of Kayseri between January 2006 and April 2017. It was observed that the number of female cases is higher in both infestations. When positive cases were eva- luated according to age, it appears that scabies cases in the 25-44 age group and pediculosis cases in the 10-14 age group are higher. At the same time, in the first 4 months of 2017, it was observed that the number of cases in both infestations was two times higher than that in the previous year.
Conclusion: We believe that scabies and pediculosis infestations are still a major public health concern in Turkey and its city.
