Abstract

The increase in pediculosis infestation during the last decades brings to the fore concern on the care, prevention and treatment of the disease. Teachers educate and try to improve the life quality of their students during their development phase. Frequently the parents are informed on the children’s conditions and are invited to analyze the children’s head for lice. However, many parents think that lice infestation is normal or do not have time to take care. In spite of the good education work of the teachers, their lack of knowledge and planning, especially the pedagogical director’s, is evident. A bimonthly planning is required and should involve not only pediculosis but also several other activities on hygiene in habits and on the premises. A card may be suggested for this purpose. Current research tries to inform the most frequent parasitosis extant in schoolchildren in Brazil.
