    Author: Scott GR, Chosidow O, IUSTI/WHO.
    Journal: Int J STD AIDS; 2011 Jun; 22(6):301-3. PubMed ID: 21680661.
    Abstract:
    Transmission of the mite Sarcoptes scabiei generally occurs by protracted direct body contact; although in crusted scabies, transmission also occurs via infected clothing or bedding. Diagnosis is usually clinical and topical antiscabietics are the mainstay of treatment. Oral ivermectin is not licensed in most countries, but may have a role in certain patients. Treatment of sexual contacts is indicated.
