Resumo: OBJECTIVE: To determine the intensity of Pediculus capitis infestation (abundance) among Argentinean schoolchildren. Children's sex and social stratum were analyzed as modifiers of the general prevalence and degree of parasitism. METHODS: The study included 1,370 schoolchildren (692 girls, 678 boys) from 26 schools of the province of La Rioja (21 public schools, five private schools). Classic prevalence was obtained as the percentage of children with nits and/or lice. Moreover, five degrees of parasitism were classified: 0) children with no signs of pediculosis; 0+) children with evidence of past infestation; 1) children with a recent infestation and low probability of active parasitism; 2) children with a recent infestation and high probability of active parasitism; 3) children with mobile lice (active pediculosis). RESULTS: The general prevalence was 61.4% (girls: 79%; boys: 44%, p

Analisar se sexo e classe social das crianças são fatores influentes na prevalência e grau de parasitismo. MÉTODOS: Foram examinados 1.370 alunos (692 meninas e 678 meninos), de 26 escolas (21 públicas e cinco particulares) da província de La Rioja, Argentina. A prevalência foi obtida pela percentagem de crianças com lêndeas e/ou piolhos. O parasitismo foi classificado em cinco graus: 0) crianças sem sinal de pediculose; 0+) com sinal de infestação curada; 1) infestação recente, mas baixa probabilidade de parasitismo ativo; 2) com infestação e alta probabilidade de parasitismo; 3) com piolhos móveis (pediculose ativa). RESULTADOS: A prevalência geral foi de 61,4% (79% em meninas e 44% em meninos, pUniversidade de São Paulo.
