Approach to scabies in primary health care

Year 2023, Volume: 32 Issue: 2, 109 - 112, 30.06.2023

Abstract

Scabies is a skin infection caused by a parasite called Sarcoptes scabiei. Scabies is a type of infection that spreads through contact. This infection can be transmitted from person to person by contact, through sexual contact, or from infected items and surfaces. Scabies mites live and breed in tunnels on the skin surface. The infection occurs within a few weeks, with itching and other skin manifestations. Scabies is usually more prominent in the folded areas of the skin, especially in areas such as the wrists, between the fingers, elbows, back of the knees and waist. If scabies infection is not treated, it can cause more serious skin problems and infections can lead to public health problems.

Abstract

Uyuz, Sarcoptes scabiei adlı bir parazitin neden olduğu bir deri enfeksiyonudur. Enfeksiyon ciltte şiddetli kaşıntı, kızarıklık, kızarıklık ve kabarcıklarla kendini gösterir. Uyuz, temas yoluyla bulaşan bir enfeksiyon türüdür. Bu enfeksiyon kişiden kişiye temas yoluyla, cinsel temas yoluyla veya enfekte olmuş eşya ve yüzeylerden bulaşabilir. Uyuz akarları cilt yüzeyindeki tünellerde yaşar ve ürerler. Enfeksiyon, kaşıntı ve diğer cilt belirtileri ile birkaç hafta içinde ortaya çıkar. Uyuzlar genellikle cildin kıvrımlı bölgelerinde, özellikle bilekler, parmak araları, dirsekler, diz arkası ve bel gibi bölgelerde daha belirgindir. Uyuz enfeksiyonu tedavi edilmezse daha ciddi cilt sorunlarına neden olabilir ve enfeksiyonlar halk sağlığı sorunlarına yol açabilir.
