Jigger infestation in children in a rural area of Rivers State of Nigeria.
West African Journal of Medicine 1995 January
During a survey in April 1991 to determine the immunisation status of 218 children resident in a rural riverine community, 49 (22.48) were found to have been infested with Tunga penetrans. Itching and ulceration were the commonest symptoms. The feet were infested in all children, none of whom was taken to a health facility. 42.86% of infested children received complete doses of DPT. Parents reported no complications of infestation. Tungiasis is an important infestation in rural dwellers. The need for adequate childhood immunisation and use of protective clothing and shoes are highlighted.
