Scabies can spread through direct contact with individuals who suffer from scabies disease through indirect contact with equipment or objects that have been contaminated with scabie scabs, such as sharing towels or bed linen with people suffering from the disease. Scabies are more easily spread when people live in groups or densely populated places such as dormitories, groups of schoolchildren, or inter-families in houses that are densely occupied even in villages. The aim of this study is to find out the relationship between the sanitation of the home environment and personal hygiene to the incidence of skabies in school-age children in the eastern northern part of the country in 2023.
