    Abstract:

    Pediculosis capitis or head lice infestation caused by Pediculus humanus var. capitis. Its caused irritation and Scalp Pruritus. Its occurs most commonly in children becaused they couldn’t keep their personal hygiene independently. Pediculosis capitis caused disconcentrated, lack of sleep, parental anxiety, social embarrassment and isolation. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between Pediculosis capitis with personal hygiene in rural primary schoolchildren in Cempaka Village, Banjarbaru Municipality. This analytic observational case control study design, at first determined 33 (19,87%) schoolchildren was infested pediculosis capitis from 166 population. Other 33 schoolchildren randomized uninfested pediculosis capitis as the controls group (1:1 to case group). Pediculosis capitis was known by identified head lice, nymph or eggs of Pediculus humanus var. capitis and personal hygiene was measured by questionnaire. Chi Square test result, there was significant moderate positive correlation between pediculosis capitis with personal hygiene (p value <0.001 and r = 0,516). Improved hair hygiene and avoid shared private tool like comb or other hair accesories as strategies for effective control pediculosis were recommended.

  • the predictive value of symptoms in diagnosing childhood tinea capitis
    JAMA Pediatrics, 1999
    Co-Authors: Thomas W Hubbard
    Abstract:

    Objective To determine which sign, symptom, or combination thereof best predicts cultures positive for fungi in children with possible tinea capitis. Design Convenience survey. Setting Urban hospital-based general pediatric practice. Patients Results were obtained on 100 consecutive children presenting with at least 1 sign or symptom (Scalp Pruritus, scaling, diffuse or circumscribed alopecia, or occipital adenopathy). Intervention All enrolled children had samples for Scalp cultures taken. Demographic information and clinical findings were verified by the author. Main Outcome Measure Whether detected clinical findings can predict the outcome of fungal cultures. Results Cultures positive for fungi were found in 68 children. There was a significant relationship (Fisher exact test; P Conclusions In children who are suspected of having tinea capitis, there is a high likelihood of cultures positive for fungi in those with adenopathy. A fungal infection is rarely the cause when neither adenopathy nor alopecia is present. Attention to signs and symptoms in children with suspected tinea capitis can result in better diagnostic and treatment precision.

  • the predictive value of symptoms in diagnosing childhood tinea capitis
    Annual Meeting of the Pediatric Academic Society, 1999
    Co-Authors: Thomas W Hubbard
    Abstract:

    Objective: To determine which sign, symptom, or combination thereof best predicts cultures positive for fungi in children with possible tinea capitis. Design: Convenience survey. Setting: Urban hospital-based general pediatric practice. Patients: Results were obtained on 100 consecutive children presenting with at least 1 sign or symptom (Scalp Pruritus, scaling, diffuse or circumscribed alopecia, or occipital adenopathy). Intervention: All enrolled children had samples for Scalp cultures taken. Demographic information and clinical findings were verified by the author. Main Outcome Measure: Whether detected clinical findings can predict the outcome of fungal cultures. Results: Cultures positive for fungi were found in 68 children. There was a significant relationship (Fisher exact test; P<.001) between the number of signs and symptoms and a culture positive for fungi. Positive likelihood ratios were 7.5, 3.3, 1.4, and 1.1 for the presence of adenopathy, alopecia, Pruritus, and scaling, respectively, for children with cultures positive for fungi. All children (n = 55) who presented with both adenopathy and alopecia and 60 of 62 children who presented with both adenopathy and scaling had cultures positive for fungi. No cultures positive for fungi were found in children without adenopathy and scaling; only 1 of 68 children without adenopathy and alopecia had a culture positive for fungi. Conclusions: In children who are suspected of having tinea capitis, there is a high likelihood of cultures positive for fungi in those with adenopathy. A fungal infection is rarely the cause when neither adenopathy nor alopecia is present. Attention to signs and symptoms in children with suspected tinea capitis can result in better diagnostic and treatment precision.
