Article Synopsis
- Skin diseases like impetigo and scabies are prevalent in Ghana, with a significant portion of the population affected, yet there's limited data on their prevalence.
- A cross-sectional study involving 1,327 participants from various settings in Ghana found that 14% had impetigo, often mild, and 56.2% had scabies, with a notable overlap between the two conditions.
- Key factors increasing the risk of impetigo included having an itch, presence of scabies, and being in preschool, highlighting the need for improved detection and control measures as part of health initiatives in the region.
