ABSTRACT
Phthiriasis is a sexually transmitted disease by Phthirus pubis(pubic or crab louse) and usually affect the pubis in adult. Infestation of the eyelashes and scalp occurs rarely and mainly in children. In children, infestation may be transmitted by close contact with infected family, infected towel or other materials, or rarely by sexual abuse. So, careful examination is needed to find out familial source. We report a case of phthiriasis occuring on the scalp of a 16 month-old child whose mother has phthiriasis on the pubis and both axilla.
