Scabies: diagnosis and treatment.
Scabies is a common, severely pruritic, contagious disorder. Treatment must be careful and methodical to avoid continuing infestation. Patients and their contacts must be treated, and clothing changed. Failure to discover all the contacts leads to continuing spread of the disease.
