Scabies and Venereal Disease Questions Answered
Dear readers. A letter discusses scabies including contagion, treatment with gamma benzene hexachloride known as Kwell, and the need for washing and clothes changes to end the infestation. It notes night itching and mites in skin and highlights prevention through complete treatment of all contacts. A second letter asks about blood tests for venereal disease explaining that V D germs rarely appear in blood tests except for specific ones like syphilis, while gonorrhea has no reliable blood test yet. A third question concerns a child with yellow nasal discharge suggesting a possible bacterial sinus infection and the need for medical evaluation to prevent future complications.
