Abstract: | Key Clinical Message Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) infestation is an important disease world- wide, especially in children under 11 years old. Permethrin is the most com- mon insecticide for treatment of human pediculosis, but nowadays resistance to permethrin and other pyrethroids has caused many treatment failures. The sec- ond treatment of choice is malathion. |
