致编者：蟹虱 (Phthirus pubis) 常见于阴毛，但也可能出现在腹部、大腿、睫毛、眉毛、腋窝、躯干和肛周区域。11918 年，Nuttall2 提到了几份较早的关于蟹虱发生在头皮头发中的报告，并认为这种情况非常罕见，尤其是在成人中。没有其他身体的阴毛虱感染头皮据推测感染甚至不太常见。3,4我们描述了一名成年女性，在没有其他身体受累的情况下患有阴毛感染。病例报告——一名 25 岁女性主诉头皮后部瘙痒和刺激，持续一周。她否认出现皮疹、发冷、发烧或出汗，其他方面感觉良好。几周前，她的三个学龄孩子也有类似的后头皮瘙痒症状，学校官员告知他们患有“头虱”。
To the Editor.— The crab louse,Phthirus pubis, is commonly found on hairs in the pubic region, although it may also be found on the abdomen, thigh, eyelashes, eyebrows, axillae, trunk, and perianal area.1In 1918, Nuttall2refers to several earlier reports of crab lice occurring in the scalp hair and regarded such cases as very rare, especially in adults.Phthirus pubisscalp infestation without other body infestation is presumed even less common.3,4We describe an adult woman withP pubisscalp infestation in the absence of other body involvement. Report of a Case.— A 25-year-old woman complained of posterior scalp pruritus and irritation of one week's duration. She denied rashes, chills, fever, or sweats, and was feeling well otherwise. Several weeks earlier, her three school-aged children had similar complaints of posterior scalp pruritus, and were informed by school officials that they had "head lice."
