Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study. The electronic medical records of 430 patients diagnosed with scabies at the dermatology outpatient department of Uijeongbu St. Mary\u2019s Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were used to collect data on their characteristics. The subjects were divided into three groups: patients, family of confirmed patients, and healthcare workers. General and epidemiological characteristics were analyzed. Results: The average age was 60.89 \u00b1 22.39 years. The number of days from symptom onset to diagnosis was unknown in many cases (65.3%), although the average was 63.42 \u00b1 64.18 days. Repeated visits after treatment were observed in 193 patients (67.5%), 38 family members of confirmed patients (55.1%), and 35 healthcare workers (46.7%), showing a statistically significant difference (p = .002). The most common place of residence before the visit was home (56.2%), and the most common suspected origin of contagion was the home (38.3%), and the most common category of the suspected contagious person was family (49.6%). Conclusion: Cases of scabies were disproportionately common in women and older adults. The interval from symptom onset to diagnosis was long, and about half of the cases involved itching but no skin lesions. More than one-thirds of cases did not revisit for a follow-up after 2 weeks. In the overall results, unlike previous studies, factors related to home and family were frequently observed as epidemiological characteristics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7586\/jkbns.24.044","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,24]],"date-time":"2025-02-24T04:49:01Z","timestamp":1740372541000},"page":"133-143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7586\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Epidemiological characteristics of patients with scabies at a Korean university hospital: a single-center retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.7586","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7443-0891","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hye Eun","family":"Hwang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3029-2556","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jae Sim","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3585-3690","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yang Ree","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5046-7234","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ji young","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4406","reference":[{"volume-title":"About Scabies [Internet]","year":"2024","key":"ref1"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3347\/kjp.2019.57.4.399"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3238\/arztebl.m2021.0296"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0268865"},{"volume-title":"Database of the medical statistics by disease\/behavior [Internet]","year":"2024","key":"ref5"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s41182-021-00348-6"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.20471\/acc.2022.61.02.22"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3122\/jabfm.2017.01.160190"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.18943"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/tmi.14058"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmh.2024.100220"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0258780"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4021\/jocmr520w"},{"volume-title":"Statement on the fifteenth meeting of the IHR (2005) Emergency Committee on the COVID-19 pandemic [Internet]","year":"2023","key":"ref14"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5124\/jkma.2023.66.12.705"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bjd\/ljad308"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.annder.2015.10.588"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.17348"},{"key":"ref19","first-page":"678","volume-title":"Epidemiological and clinical study of scabies in Korea: multi center retrospective study","author":"Park","year":"2013"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14192\/kjhaicp.2019.24.1.1"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0008554"},{"key":"ref22","first-page":"783","volume-title":"Epidemiological and clinical study of scabies over the last 4 years in the north-west Gyeonggido province: focus on the treatment effect and comparison between inpatients and outpatients","author":"Kim","year":"2014"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2017.12.004"},{"volume-title":"Division of STD Prevention.
