Head lice: is there a solution?
Head lice is an old problem that won't go away. Infestation with the head louse Pediculus capitis is still common in school-aged children. The majority of information about this condition is based on anecdotal evidence. There is a definite need for the standardization of detection methods for diagnosis and epidemiological purposes, and for properly designed trials to ascertain the effectiveness of the different treatment methods available.
