Article Synopsis
- Scabies is a major global health issue, particularly among people with poor hygiene and in crowded environments, prompting a study in Erbil, Iraq, involving 154 patients from April 2022 to March 2023.
- The study found that females were more affected than males, with adolescents aged 10-20 having the highest infection rates; genetic factors such as IL-10 and IL-13 gene polymorphisms played a significant role in the susceptibility to or protection against scabies.
- Results indicated that the IL-10 GA genotype offered protection while the IL-13 TT genotype increased susceptibility, with variations in these genotypes affecting males and females differently in terms of infection resistance.
