2) 50% of cases had family history of similar troubles and the duration of subjective symptom complaind at their first visit was 1~2 weeks in 20 cases, 3~4 weeks in 25, 2 months in 10, and over 3 months and unknown were 12.
3) Suspected sources of infestation were, 22 cases from one of their family members, 15 at hotel, 7 at boarding house, 2 at camping, 1 at military camp, 19 were unknown.
4) Distribution of burrows was hand (79.4 % ), wrist (12.4 % ), foot (3.1 % ), penis (2.6%), scrotum (2.1 %) and axillary area (0.5 %) . Number of burrows was 1~2 in 61.4%, 3~4 in 19.3%, 5~6 in 5.3%, 7~8 in 1.8%, 9~10 in 5.3% and 10 in 7.6%.
5) 44 patients (66.7%) were confirmed by finding of female mite and among them 50 % had 1 female mite, 36.7 % had 2, 6.8 % had 3, 2.3 % had 4 and 4.5 % had 6.

8) Mean size of female mite(length x breadth) was 359.3μ x 266.5μ, male mite 21. lμ x 160.9/4μ larva 131.8μ x 94.2μ, egg with developing larva 167.3μ x.93.6μ, egg with developed larva 159.7μ x 92.3μ and scybala 18.7μ x 12.3μ.
