Abstract
- We examined infestation state of head lice in 2 primary schools in 1998. Among the 382 subjects, 92 (24.1%) children were confirmed as having head lice infestation. Infestation rate of each school was 13.6% and 32.9%, respectively. Infestation rate of girls (42.2%) was higher than that of boys (5.8%) and the 5th grade had more infested children (35.7%) than any other.
