Some vaginal infections are transmitted through sexual contact (Trichomoniasis), but others such as candidiasis (yeast infections) are not. Bacterial vaginosis can be transmitted by sexual contact however, overgrowth of certain of the bacteria (see below) in the vagina can also result in a case of vaginitis. A recent Gallup survey found that very few women have a thorough understanding of vaginitis. While 95 percent of women surveyed had heard about yeast infections only 36 percent had ever heard of a more common vaginal infection called bacterial vaginosis (BV).

It uses the crablike claws on its legs to grasp the hair of its host, on which female lice lay eggs. Eggs hatch into nits within 5 to 10 days and grow into egg-laying lice in about the same amount of time. A crab louse lives for about 6 weeks, but dies within 24 hours without blood. They do not pose a serious health threat, but are irritating, contagious, and indicate a risk for other STDs.

Estos parásitos pasan del estado de ninfa o larva a piojo adulto en tres semanas. Su promedio de sobrevida es de treinta días y durante ese tiempo cada hembra es capaz de poner 200 huevos o liendres. El síntoma más frecuente de esta parasitosis es la picazón de la nuca y detrás de las orejas y es debido a que, cuando el piojo pica, inyecta una toxina en la piel antes de succionar la sangre. El contagio, se lleva a cabo cuando una persona no infectada establece contacto con una parasitada o con alguno de sus elementos de uso personal como peine, cepillo, vestimenta, almohada, etc. En la actualidad algunas madres y maestras se han convertido en expertas para diagnosticar esta molesta y frecuente parasitosis.

Diagnóstico El diagnóstico de este problema se hace a simple vista ya que tanto los piojos como las ninfas y huevos (liendres) se ven con una adecuada búsqueda o con la ayuda de una lupa o de un microscopio. Se recomienda el uso de luz natural para su búsqueda, en caso de usar luz del tipo artificial ésta debe ser lo suficientemente potente para facilitar la visualización de este parásito. El síntoma principal es la picazón (prurito) del cuero cabelludo, pero en los casos donde la infestación es leve (1 a 5 piojos) es difícil encontrar este síntoma. Debido a dicha picazón y secundarias al rascado y sobreinfección bacteriana se puede encontrar en los pacientes lesiones que pueden necesitar de tratamiento antibiótico (impetigo) ; dicho tratamiento debe ser previo al uso de pediculicidas si son indicados.

Bureau of Communicable Disease Lice (Pediculosis) What are lice? Lice are six-legged, wingless, insect parasites of humans, mammals (cattle, pigs etc.), and birds (chicken and other birds). Lice are divided into two groups: lice found on mammals, which need blood for sustenance; and those found on birds, which chew on feathers and dandruff. The three most common external parasites of humans are: head lice ( Pediculus humanus capitus body lice ( Pediculus humanus humunas ); and crab lice ( Pthirus pubis All lice have flattened bodies to allow them ease of movement in the hair, fur, and feathers of their hosts. Infestation of a person with head and/or body lice is termed "Pediculosis" and with crab lice is called "Pthiriasis." Pediculousis, or infestation with body and/or head lice, causes little irritation initially. After weeks of continued biting, some individuals may become sensitized and suffer an allergic reaction. Head lice infestation results in intense itching of the scalp behind the ears and base of the hairline or nape of the neck. Sores may form on the head from scratching and may become infected with bacteria. The symptoms of body lice infestation are scratch marks, hives, eczema and a red rash on shoulders and other areas covered with clothes. Pthiriasis, or pubic lice (crab lice) infestation, results in continued itching in the pubic area, a rash, and sometimes discoloration of skin from continued feeding by crab lice. Head Lice Head lice are found among hair on the human scalp. Commonly, they can be found on the scalp behind the ears and near the neckline at the base of the scalp. In the United States, head lice are most common among school-aged children. Head lice is more common among girls than boys because they share hats, scarves, hairbrushes, and other hair accessories more frequently.

Kingston General Hospital Infection Control Service Fact Sheet on Pediculosis (Lice) This fact sheet provides basic general information only and is to be used as a quick guide, not as a complete resource on the subject. If you have any further questions, ask your own physician, local health unit or health care worker. PEDICULOSIS: HEAD AND BODY LICE What is it? Eggs are laid by the fertilized female on body hairs or fibres of clothing in oval "nits". (Eggs are about the size of a pinhead and resemble dandruff). After 7-10 days, small nymphs emerge from the eggs and must feed on blood within 24 hours. Humans are the only reservoir. Three kinds of lice infest humans: 1) Pediculus humanus corporis (body louse), 2) Pediculus humanus capitalis (head louse) and 3) Phthirus pubis (pubic crab louse). Body Louse Crab Louse How is it spread? Head lice: direct contact or contact with personal items such as brushes, combs, bedding, or clothes such as hats, scarves, sweaters, etc. Body lice: direct contact or contact with clothing (especially seams) or bedding Pubic lice ("crabs"): close physical contact, usually sexual. Transmission by other means is extremely uncommon because of the rapid death of lice when off the human host.
