طفل عمره ٦ سنوات عنده حكة شديدة تزيد ليلاً منذ ٣ أسابيع، وخطوط رفيعة وحبوب بين الأصابع وعلى الرسغين. أمه وأخوه بدأوا يحكون أيضاً. الحرارة طبيعية. شُخص بالجرب. أي تعليم صحيح للعائلة؟

A 6-year-old has had intense itching worse at night for 3 weeks, with thin burrows and papules between the fingers and on the wrists. His mother and brother have started itching too. He is afebrile and is diagnosed with scabies. Which teaching for the family is correct?

1. Itching disappears immediately after the first application
2. Treat only the affected child
3. Treat all household members together and wash clothes in hot water
4. Cold showers alone are enough

Answer: C) Treat all household members together and wash clothes in hot water. Scabies spreads by contact, so all contacts are treated simultaneously (permethrin) and clothing and bedding hot-washed; itch may persist for weeks.
