<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Skabies merupakan penyakit kulit akibat arthopod, spesies Sarcoptes scabiei, dengan gejala klinis berupa rasa gatal dan lesi polimorfik berupa eritem, papul, nodul, atau pustula. Penyakit tular ini berhubungan dengan rendahnya higienitas perorangan dan kebiasaan bertukar barang. Faktor lain yang berperan yaitu rendahnya sosial ekonomi dan sanitasi lingkungan. Skabies memiliki prevalensi tinggi di negara tropis dan berkembang, salah satunya Indonesia. Pesantren merupakan tempat potensial bagi transmisi penyakit kulit, terutama skabies, karena memiliki lingkungan tempat tinggal yang padat. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang dan dilakukan pada bulan Oktober hingga Desember 2018. Data diambil dari semua santri yang menderita penyakit skabies. Prevalensi skabies sebesar 112 (4,4%) dengan jumlah subjek terbanyak berjenis kelamin perempuan 78 (69,6%). Lesi skabies positif secara dermokopis terdapat pada 53 subjek (47%), sedangkan positif secara mikroskopis sebanyak 19 subjek (17%). Skabies yang masih terdiagnosis mencerminkan rendahnya tingkat sanitasi dan higienitas para santri dalam mencegah penyakit kulit menular seperti skabies. ABSTRACT Scabies is a skin disease due to arthopod, a species of Sarcoptes scabiei, with clinical symptoms of itching and polymorphic lesions in the form of erythema, papules, nodules, or pustules. This contagious disease is associated with low personal hygiene and habits of exchanging goods. Other factors that play a role are low socioeconomic and environmental sanitation. Scabies has a high prevalence in tropical and developing countries, one of which is Indonesia. Pesantren is a potential place for the transmission of skin diseases, especially scabies, because it has a dense residential environment. This research is a descriptive cross-sectional design and was conducted in October to December 2018. Data were taken from all students suffering scabies. The prevalence of scabies was 112 (4.4%) with the highest number of female subjects was 78 (69.6%). Dermocopically positive scabies lesions were found in 53 subjects (47%), while microscopically positive were 19 subjects (17%). Scabies that are still diagnosed reflect the low level of sanitation and hygiene of students in preventing infectious skin diseases such as scabies. Keywords : skin disease, scabies, pesantren.]]>
