: The reapplication of an ad hoc prevention protocol during a scabies outbreak at a University Hospital in 2024 resulted in a substantial reduction in scabies cases and limited the spread, compared to the previous outbreak in 2022. The protocol's effectiveness, demonstrated by lower prevalence and confined transmission, confirms its potential as a replicable model for the management of nosocomial scabies in health care settings, especially in the absence of standardized international guidelines.

Abstract
: The reapplication of an ad hoc prevention protocol during a scabies outbreak at a University Hospital in 2024 resulted in a substantial reduction in scabies cases and limited the spread, compared to the previous outbreak in 2022. The protocol's effectiveness, demonstrated by lower prevalence and confined transmission, confirms its potential as a replicable model for the management of nosocomial scabies in health care settings, especially in the absence of standardized international guidelines.File in questo prodotto:
