    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1991; 43(1-2):152-5. PubMed ID: 1750105.
    Abstract:
    A total of 1842 school children were examined for the occurrence of common transmissible skin infections in a rural area in North-West Ethiopia. The result showed a prevalence rate of 49.2%. Tinea capitis, impetigo, infected wounds and verrucae vulgaris were common. In addition the overall prevalence rate of lice infestation was 55.4%. The findings indicated the need to develop appropriate intervention programmes both at school and community levels.
