Scabies is a common parasitic infection that can be spread by skin-to-skin contact and sexual contact. The scabies mite burrows through the skin, depositing two or three large eggs per day. Intense pruritus, especially at night, is the most pronounced clinical manifestation. Treatment consists of topical application of a pediculicide. The causative organism is the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. Pediculosis pubis (crabs) is commonly transmitted sexually and is caused by the crab louse, P. pubis.
