Extract

The term Pediculosis denotes the pathological condition brought about by infestation with Pediculus humanus, either the head or the body or both of these being affected. Pediculosis may lead directly or indirectly to secondary infections of various kinds. P. humanus (corporis and capitis) has been shown to be the carrier of two important diseases affecting man, namely typhus and relapsing fever.
