Dr.Fulya PAYZIN*
*Söğütlü Dispensary, SAKARYA
By the investigation performed on 214 first class pupils in the Sakarya Söğütlü Dispensary region, a lice or nit has been observed at the heads of 73 (34.1%) primary school children. The most observed disease among other systemic examinations was noticed to be pediculosis capitis. 54.2% of the children included to the investigation were boys and 45.8 were girls. Pediculosis capitis was noticed in the rate of 54.0% at girls and in the rate of 17.2% at boys. The hair length was also determined to be an increasing factor of the head lice occurence frequency. It was seen that with the sharing of beds the risk was not increasing but was emerging when a school bank was shared by more children. There was no significant relation between bath periods and head lice occurences. Of the children, 43.0% had a head lice past and in 90.2% of these children the head lices and nits were noticed by their mothers.
