    <subfield code="a">&lt;p&gt;Background: Scabies is an allergic response to an infestation of the skin by the scabies mite.&lt;br&gt;
Lymphadenopathy, acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis and rheumatic fever are&lt;br&gt;
complications related with scabies due to secondary bacterial infection. World health&lt;br&gt;
organization listed the problem as one of the neglected tropical diseases. Regional health bureau&lt;br&gt;
was notified about the outbreak on September 24/2016. Investigation and control activities were&lt;br&gt;
started on October 13/2016.The aim of the investigation was to identify source, control the&lt;br&gt;
outbreak and assess risk factors associated with it.&lt;br&gt;
Methods: We employed descriptive followed by unmatched case-control study design in a ratio&lt;br&gt;
of 1:2. Patients were recruited from temporary treatment sites. Controls were recruited from the&lt;br&gt;
nearby community by house to house visit and ensuring no scabies patient in the family.&lt;br&gt;
Additionally, line listing of cases was done to carry out descriptive analysis. Structured&lt;br&gt;
questionnaire was used to collect data.&lt;br&gt;
Result:&lt;br&gt;
Descriptive: The outbreak started in March and ended in October 2016. We line listed 1958&lt;br&gt;
(males 1092 and females 866) patients with scabies. One thousand two hundred eighty eight&lt;br&gt;
(65%) were less than 15 years of age. Age ranged from 2 month to 84 years with median age of&lt;br&gt;
12years. Overall attack rate was 4%. The outbreak affected 15 kebeles (Lowest government&lt;br&gt;
structure) from the total of 84&lt;/p&gt;</subfield>
