title: [Preliminary analysis of the incidence rate of scabies in Lódź population].
abstract: We have analysed all the reported and diagnosed cases of scabies in the years 1999-2000 per 100 000 inhabitants in the Lódź voivodeship. The data was obtained from the Regional Administration Unit for the Control of Epidemics and Hygiene Promotion in Lódź. The incidence in Lódź voivodeship was found to be twice as high (89,0) as that in Poland (44,0). The highest incidence in Lódź voivodeship was found in Radomsko (268,0), Pabianice (149,0) and Kutno (148.5) districts. The number of new cases registered in 1999-2000 did not increase in the districts: Leczyca, Radomsko, Lowicz and Bełchatów.
