Head louse pediculosis is a frequent condition in school\u2010age children and can be properly controlled using topical treatments combined with good personal hygiene. Prolonged and chronic infestations may result in more serious outcomes including severe iron deficiency anaemia. We conducted entomological and laboratory investigations of a head louse infestation in a 12\u2010year\u2010old girl who experienced severe anaemia and subsequent death. Numerous lice were found postmortem on the head, face and neck of the patient, as well as on bedding and clothing. Analysis of nits on individual hairs determined that the louse infestation had been present for at least 166\u2009days. The lice had some morphological traits characteristic of body lice: the third antennal segment in some specimens was distinctly longer than wide, and the apices of some paratergal plates did not extend into intersegmental membranes, while other morphological features were characteristic of head or body lice. All lice were heterozygous for the T917I\n                    <jats:italic>kdr<\/jats:italic>\n                    genotype, a marker of permethrin resistance. Nineteen (79.2%, 95%CI 59.5%\u201390.8%) louse DNA samples tested TaqMan positive for\n                    <jats:italic>Acinetobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                    (Moraxellales; Moraxellaceae) sp. Available information and laboratory findings are further discussed regarding their possible contribution to the negative outcome of this case. We stress the impact head louse pediculosis can have on children with limited parental attention, and how severe head louse infestation may serve as warning sign of neglect, and other high\u2010risk situations.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mve.12763","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,18]],"date-time":"2024-09-18T23:29:48Z","timestamp":1726702188000},"page":"69-77","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A severe head louse (\n                    <i>Pediculus humanus capitis<\/i>\n                    ) infestation: Timeline, pathogen detection,\n                    <i>kdr<\/i>\n                    \u2010gene screening and morphological anomalies of lice"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9458-8172","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina E.","family":"Eremeeva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiann\u2010Ping Hsu College of Public Health Georgia Southern University  Statesboro Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lance A.","family":"Durden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science and Mathematics Georgia Southern University  Statesboro Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Eisenstat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eisenstat Forensic Pathology LLC  Atlanta Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian C.","family":"Hargrove","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Region 6 Field Office  Milledgeville Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward B.","family":"Mondor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science and Mathematics Georgia Southern University  Statesboro Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2023.e17219"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.22403"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2015-212207"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2019.00474"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5455\/aim.2023.31.191-194"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1574-695X.2011.00804.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","unstructured":"Anonymous.
