  • Epidemiological trends of scabies and syphilis in Slovenia
    Kansky, Aleksej ; Vegnuti, Miljana ; Potočnik, Marko, 1949-
    Background. Scabies is an infestation by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, which usually spreads by skin-to-skin contact and is characterized by an intense pruritus. Sexual exposure is a common but not ... exclusive mode of transmission, it seems to occur in cycles. Syphilis is a well-known and extensively studied sexually transmitted disease. It is basically on decline in developed countries. Materials and methods. Syphilis cases must be reported in Slovenia since 1948 and scabies since 1969. An attempt is being made to find out, whether do infections with scabies and syphilis in the Slovenian population show similar epidemiological trends. The 1969 - 1999 period was investigated. Results. A major peak of scabies infections was observed in 1972 and of syphilis in 1974, a minor one for syphilis in 1979 and for scabies in 1982. Since then the course of scabies was more or less constant whereas syphilis displayed a smaller peak in the years 1993-95. The statistical evaluation according to Pearson showed similar trends in both the conditions. Conclusion.The observed similarity of the trends should be examined carefully,as the observation period for scabies is probably to short to obtaindefinite evidence on its cyclic course.
