Abstract excerpt

Pediculosis capitis, caused by infestation of the human head louse Pediculus humanus capitis is endemic all over the world, and Malaysia is no exception. Permethrin is recommended as one of the first-line treatments for pediculosis capitis. However, after decades of intensive and continuous use, numerous treatment failures and recurrent cases have been reported globally due to established evidence of permethrin...
