Pediculosis del cuerpo. Comunicación de un caso

Pediculosis is an ectoparasitosis that has no geographical, socioeconomic, or cultural boundaries. The poor knowledge of the community about the causative agent, the forms of contagion and treatment have led to this dermatosis to increase year after year in recent decades. The high prevalence has been associated with water shortages and poor personal hygiene practices. We present the case of a 74 year-old male, with diagnosis of Pediculosis of the body.
