Abstract

Background: Scabies is a common disease that is caused by
Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. This disease is usually characterized by skin lesions which form straight or winding cuniculus coloured white or grey. ThBackground: Scabies is a common disease that is caused by
Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. This disease is usually characterized by skin lesions which form straight or winding cuniculus coloured white or grey. These lesions generally located on the thin stratum corneum. It often accompanied by itching sensation at night and quickly spreads in dense environments. Scabies is a skin disease that is endemic in tropical and subtropical climates. In Indonesia, there are 14,798 Islamic boarding schools with a high prevalence of scabies. Treatment using permethrin 5% is felt to be less effective because if it not done simultaneously and massively, recurrence will occur immediately. The scabies disease certainly makes the students frustrated and decreased educational value. Methods & materials: The utterly randomized design used in this experiment. This research conducted at some Islamic boarding houses in East Java, Indonesia. There are 189 samples were obtained, ranging in age from 13-24 years. These samples randomized, divided into three groups. The scabies patients treated by permethrin 5% as the positive control. The negative control was scabies patients without any treatment. And the last group were scabies patients treated by ultrasonic sound (70.000 Hz). The duration of ultrasonic sound was 3 hours each night. The severity before and after treatment were measured using the Scoring System of Severity in Scabies. Results: In ultrasonic treatment, there is a drastic reduction in the degree of disease. In therapy using permethrin 5%, the decline is not so significant. Meanwhile, without treatment, the degree of illness is increased. Based on the results of the Kruskal Wallis test, the calculated chi-square value is higher than the chi-square table (61,994 > 5991). The p-value is smaller than p (0000 < 0.050), the H0 decision rejected, so it could conclude that there is a significant difference in the average decrease in the degree of disease between treatments. Conclusion: The ultrasonic sound can consider as a novel therapy for scabies disease. Ultrasonic has a faster treatment capability and creates a scabies-free atmosphere, thereby reducing recurrence rates
