Pediculosis capitis is a contagious infestation caused by the obligatory human parasite known as the head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis<\/em>), which colonizes, feeds on, and reproduces in the scalp. It is absolutely not an indicator of poor personal hygiene; it can affect people from all social classes. <\/p>\r\n
