Sanitary treatment of the patient when identifying pediculosis

The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation issued Order No. 342 on November 26, 1998. The goal is to stop the spread of head lice and infectious diseases carried by lice.

The female lays 4 eggs per day. The louse lives up to 38 days and is sensitive to temperature. Outside the host's body, it dies within 1 day. At temperatures below 20 °C, egg laying stops and larval development stops.

Typhus or rickettsiosis is a severe infectious disease in which destructive changes in blood vessels and the development of generalized thrombovasculitis occur. Symptoms of this disease are:

  • fever and temperature;
  • intoxication of the body;
  • roseola-petechial rash.

The first 2 species are carriers of infectious agents such as typhus, relapsing fever, and Volyn fever. The greatest danger in the event of epidemics are body lice, which, after consuming the blood of a patient, can become carriers within 5-7 days and transmit the infection to healthy people.

Treatment algorithm for pediculosis:

  1. Prepare a solution to kill parasites in accordance with the instructions.
  2. Consistently treat hair against lice, avoiding contact of the product with mucous membranes and face. Each strand should be processed separately.
  3. If your hair is long, put it in a bun and cover it with a plastic scarf.
  4. Maintain exposure according to the drug manufacturer's recommendations.
  5. After the specified time has passed, rinse off the product with warm water, after removing any remaining product, wash your hair with detergent shampoo and rinse with vinegar solution.
  6. After applying the vinegar solution, tie your hair with a plastic scarf and leave it in this state for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Rinse your hair again with warm water and dry with a towel.
  8. Place the patient on a chair and place paper on the floor to make it easier to dispose of insects later. Be sure to comb out dead insects and nits using a fine-tooth comb.
  9. Periodically remove adhering parasites from the comb using a cotton swab soaked in alcohol.
  10. At the end of the procedure, re-examine the patient and make sure there are no lice and nits.
