2.	Ivermectin (Mectizan)FDA Link 08/01/2004 - "To assess the short-term and long-term impact of selective mass treatment with ivermectin on the prevalence of intestinal helminthiases and parasitic skin diseases in an economically depressed community in north-east Brazil. " 08/01/2004 - "Selective mass treatment with ivermectin to control intestinal helminthiases and parasitic skin diseases in a severely affected population."
3.	HLA Antigens (Human Leukocyte Antigens)IBA 12/01/1990 - "Histocompatibility (HLA) antigens in Egyptians with two parasitic skin diseases (scabies and leishmaniasis)." 12/01/1990 - "The frequency of human leucocytic antigens (HLA) were studied in 62 patients with scabies and 27 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis to evaluate the role of HLA antigens as genetic markers in the pathogenesis of these parasitic skin diseases. "
4.	Genetic Markers (Genetic Marker)IBA 12/01/1990 - "The frequency of human leucocytic antigens (HLA) were studied in 62 patients with scabies and 27 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis to evaluate the role of HLA antigens as genetic markers in the pathogenesis of these parasitic skin diseases. "
5.	dimethicone (dimethyl polysiloxane)IBA 06/01/2015 - "The article on use of dimeticone for treatment of epidermal parasitic skin diseases is potentially confusing and misleading because, in a practical sense, only head louse infestation can be treated with this material. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Drug Therapy (Chemotherapy) 01/01/2004 - "The drug seems to be particularly useful when polyparasitism is expected to occur or when public health measures aim to reduce both intestinal helminthiases and parasitic skin diseases by mass chemotherapy."
