Maintain a high index of suspicion that scabies may be the cause of undiagnosed skin rash; evaluate and confirm suspected cases by obtaining skin scrapings. If there are multiple cases, notify the local health department of the outbreak; determine if there is evidence of an increase in scabies cases in the community; notify other institutions to or from which infected or exposed patients/residents may have transferred.Consult with an experienced dermatologist for assistance in differentiating between skin rashes and scabies.
Ensure a trained and experienced staff member can obtain and examine skin scrapings to identify scabies mites.The facility should maintain records with patient/resident name, age, sex, room number, roommate(s) name(s), skin scraping status and result(s), and name(s) of all staff who provided hands-on care to the patient/resident before implementation of infection control measures: symptoms can take up to 2 months to appear in exposed persons and staff.MedRxiv.org document Impact of Scabies on Quality of Life and recent advances in management: A systematic Review, posted 11/26/2024, documented Scabies remains a significant global health issue, particularly in resource-limited settings.
