- Abstract
- Scabies is a re-emerging parasitic disease, particularly in hospitalized patients. This is a retrospective study analyzing adult patients with scabies admitted to a referral university hospital between 2008 and 2018. All patients were treated an average of 3 times using scabicides; the median isolation period and time to cure were 14 and 15 days, respectively.
