	abstract = {Total of 7,495 children including 3,908 boys and 3,587 girls from a kindergarten and 15 primary schools were examined for head lice infestation (HLI). The overall prevalence of HLI in this study was found to be 5.8\%. Head lice were much more commonly detected in girls than in boys with prevalence of 11.2\% and 0.9\%, respectively. Sixty-nine children with HLI were treated with 1\% lindane shampoo alone (group 1), and 45 children with HLI were treated with 1\% lindane shampoo and oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (group 2), and follow-up visits were conducted 2 and 4 weeks later. The children who still had HLI 2 weeks after the primary treatment were treated again. At the 2-week follow-up visit, the treatment success rates of groups 1 and 2 were 76.8\% and 86.7\%, respectively, and at the 4-week follow-up visit, the rates were 91.3\% and 97.8\%, respectively. No statistically significant synergistic effect was observed for the combination of a 1\% lindane shampoo and oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.},
