Background: Since 2005, pediculosis is one of the obligatory reportable diseases from community to the Center of Disease Control.
This study is the first nationwide survey on the prevalence of pediculosis and some associated risk factors in Iranian children and adolescents.
Methods: National data of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education were gathered in 2005 through school screening programs and obligatory reports from the country health centers.
Results: 12,359,448 Iranian children and adolescents were screened in 2005.
Overall, 213,450 students, consisting of 198,947 girls and 14,320 boys were reported to have pediculosis.
The prevalence of pediculosis was 581 per 100,000 population that varied from 1/100 000 to 8,303/100,000.
In general, the highest prevalence of pediculosis was documented in south-eastern cities.
The prevalence of pediculosis was significantly higher in girls than in boys (93% vs.7%, respectively, p<0.0001).
In both genders, the highest prevalence of pediculosis was documented in the 6-10- year age group.
Of those infected, 62% lived in rural areas, and 32% of those infected with pediculosis had a previous history of this infection.
Most (99.37%) infected individuals had head lice, the rest had body and pubic pediculosis.
Conclusion: The prevalence of pediculosis is low in Iranian children and adolescents, but this infestation is still a health problem in some south-eastern cities with warm climate and low to middle socioeconomic status.
