The prison is in dynamic equilibrium with the larger society. Hence, it serves as a reservoir of infections which can spread to the larger society. The study sets out to find out how rampant these infections might be in the prison and the factors responsible.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Materials and methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> Inmates at a Nigerian prison in Ilesha, Osun State, were examined for skin infections. Personal hygiene and living conditions were critically examined.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> The overall prevalent rate of infectious dermatoses was 49.2% (150\/305). There were 178 infections. Dermatophytes accounted for 64%, pityriasis versicolor 27%, bacterial infections 3.4%, and others 5.6%. Only frequency of soap use and accommodation arrangement significantly contributed to the overall prevalence. However, infectious dermatoses were significantly affected by prison status (P<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.04), frequency of bath (P<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.025), changing of clothing (P<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.05), accommodation arrangement (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.0001), frequency of soap usage (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.005), and toilet facility (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.001). The HIV status of the inmates was unknown. Hence, effect of HIV infection cannot be ascertained.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Skin infections and infestations are common in prison. A change in living conditions and personal hygiene will definitely help in reducing these infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2011.05016.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,17]],"date-time":"2012-01-17T11:27:14Z","timestamp":1326799634000},"page":"178-181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Skin infections and infestations in prison inmates"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Olumayowa A.","family":"Oninla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olaniyi","family":"Onayemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1978.tb06069.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","first-page":"1381","volume-title":"Scabies in Manson\u2019s Tropical Diseases","author":"Manson\u2010Bahr PC","year":"1987"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"59","DOI":"10.1177\/004947557700700205","article-title":"An epidemiological approach to skin diseases in tropics","volume":"7","author":"Porter MJ","year":"1997","journal-title":"Trop Doc"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","first-page":"16","article-title":"Pattern of dermatoses among inmates of district prison\u2010Mangalore, India","volume":"68","author":"Kuruvila M","year":"2002","journal-title":"Indian J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","first-page":"86","article-title":"Health status of inmates of a prison","volume":"26","author":"Pant GB","year":"2001","journal-title":"Indian J Community Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","first-page":"38","volume-title":"Dermatophytes in Ikoyi Prisons","author":"Okudo A","year":"1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","volume-title":"Behind the Wall","author":"Ehonwa OL","year":"1996"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","volume-title":"Prison Skin Infection Could Spread","author":"Lee D","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","first-page":"324","article-title":"Dermatophytosis in Delhi Area","volume":"42","author":"Kadhari KC","year":"1964","journal-title":"J India Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Behind the Wall","author":"Odinkalu AI","year":"1991"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","volume-title":"Andrews\u2019 Diseases of the Skin","author":"Domonkos AN","year":"1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.77.7.859"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","first-page":"577","article-title":"Pharmacist led dermatology clinic","volume":"272","author":"Tucker R","year":"2004","journal-title":"Pharm J"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","unstructured":"MatoBA.The Nigerian Prison System: The need for Reform (paper presented to the Nigerian Bar Association Kaduna Branch on the occasion their law week celebration) July 10\u201315 1989."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(88)70107-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_2","unstructured":"Prison Act.
