Abstract
PESTAB Epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of scabies in Austria are surveyed. Sulfoperscatol (2. 5% DDT), Sarnex (20% solution of thioformol in gasoline), and especially lindane emulsion are used for the treatment of scabies. Lindane in the form of 0. 3% emulsion is rubbed in the skin all over the body with the exception of the head on three consecutive days. Babies and small children are treated for 3 hr for each of three days and bathed after each treatment to reduce resorption.
