3) The monthly distribution of scabietic patients was highest in January(14.9%) and lowest in August(1.8%), but seasonal variation was not prominent.
4) The sites of predilection were as follows; thigh(91.4%), lower abdomen(88.6%), and forearm(88.6%).
5) Infectious rate among the family members was 58.3%, and incubation period was variable.
