Summary

Pediculosis capitis is a parasitic infestation that can cause scalp pruritus and quality of life disturbances. There are two objective measurement for pruritus, visual analog scale (VAS) and 5-D itch scale, which can assess the severity of the scalp pruritus and the latter can also asses the quality of life affected by pruritus. Even though VAS can not be used to evaluate the impact of pruritus on quality of life, it is very easy to use while 5-D itch scale is complex and not child-friendly.

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between two different pruritus scales and to establish validity of pruritus VAS scale in evaluating quality of life in children with pediculosis capitis. We compare two pruritus scale on students with pediculosis of two boarding school in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia.
