Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Sarcoptes scabiei infestation and its associated factors among primary school children (PSC) in the Rufiji district.
UNASSIGNED: A quantitative school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 447 PSC in the Rufiji district. The prevalence of scabies among PSC was determined by clinical examination and by microscopic examination of skin samples for the presence of S. scabiei. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data on factors associated with S. scabiei infestation. Descriptive analysis, Fisher\'s exact, chi-square tests, and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
UNASSIGNED: The prevalence of scabies was 2.0%. Of the assessed factors, only physical contact with a person having itchy skin lesions (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR]=4.04, 95%CI 4.39-12.50) and infrequency of changing clothes before laundry (AOR=2.99, 95%CI 1.35-4.94) were significantly associated with scabies. The majority of participants demonstrated low levels of knowledge, with half exhibiting poor attitudes and inappropriate healthcare-seeking behaviors.
UNASSIGNED: There was an ongoing transmission of scabies among PSC in the Rufiji district, with the factors associated with the transmission being physical contact with a person who had an itchy skin lesion and the infrequency of changing clothes before laundry. Therefore, there is a need for regular clinical screening and treatment of positive cases with preventive measures on contact and provision of health education.

摘要：
■本研究旨在调查Rufiji地区小学生（PSC）中Sarcoptesscabiei感染的患病率及其相关因素。
■在Rufiji地区的447PSC中进行了基于学校的定量横断面研究。通过临床检查和通过皮肤样本的显微镜检查来确定PSC中sc疮的患病率。使用结构化问卷收集与S.scabiei感染相关因素的数据。描述性分析,费希尔的精确,卡方检验,采用logistic回归分析。
■sc疮的患病率为2.0％。在评估的因素中，仅与皮肤发痒的人进行身体接触(调整后的赔率比[AOR]=4.04,95CI4.39-12.50)和洗衣服前换衣服的频率(AOR=2.99,95CI1.35-4.94)与sc疮显著相关.大多数参与者表现出低水平的知识，一半的人表现出不良的态度和不适当的寻求医疗的行为。
■在Rufiji地区的PSC之间不断传播sc疮，与传播相关的因素是与皮肤发痒的人的身体接触，以及洗衣服前换衣服的频率。因此,有必要定期对阳性病例进行临床筛查和治疗，并采取预防措施进行接触和提供健康教育。
