Der plötzliche Anstieg der Krätze: „Ich würde es meinem schlimmsten Feind nicht wünschen“

>A 2024 report from the UK Health Security Agency found annual increases from 2021, growing even more significantly since 2023. … (4,872 in 2024, up from 3,393). The years leading to the pandemic saw a relatively stable 1,500 cases annually, and restrictions on socialising during the pandemic led to a decrease.

The sudden increase aside, I feel like I’ve been reading horror stories about scabies for the last 40 years. But 5000 a year is still a really small number – 1 in 10,000 – presumably why doctors aren’t very good at diagnosing it.
