Course Overview

Scabies: Clinical Signs and Symptoms

Author: Mary Harris
MSN, RN

Parasitic scabies infections are a common global occurrence, affecting over four million individuals worldwide each year. Even in developed, industrial nations, scabies outbreaks can occur in hospitals, nursing homes, dorms, and communities. Scabies can be quickly spread before an individual experiences symptoms. Therefore, nurses must understand precisely what scabies are, possess knowledge of the clinical elements of a scabies infection, be familiar with treatment methods, and learn about current and future research regarding this global issue.
