Resumen

Importancia de la atención de enfermería en la sarna Noruega. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2001, vol.17, n.3, pp.152-157. ISSN 0864-0319.

Norwegian scabies was initially described in lepers in 1848. This variety of scabies is reported in Cuban patients. The sample is composed of 9 patients, who caused an epidemic in their areas of origin and were attended at "Pedro Kouri" Institute of Tropical Medicine from January, 1994, to June, 1996. The objective of this paper is to make emphasis on the role played by nursing care in the prevention and cure of this disease. The severe pruritus observed in these patients, which is usually mild or is absent, is stressed. The importance of nursing care in the treatment and epidemiological control of every diagnosed patient is underlined. The dermatological isolation of these patients is recommended, as well as the taking of prophylactic measures on the part of the personnel treating them directly. The method used consisted in the clinical and epidemiological review and in the direct observation, which allowed to prove the reappearance of this affection and the importance of nursing care and of the dermatological isolation in the prevention and treatment of those patients suffering from Norwegian scabies.
