Objective: Scabies is a common infestation that affects individuals of all ages and socioeconomic status. We aimed to contribute to epidemiological data in our country by evaluating scabies of which incidence has recently increased in our country. Material and Methods: The age and gender of 8,283 patients who applied to the dermatology outpatient clinic between January 01, 2017 and December 31, 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Distribution of cases over years, months and seasons were evaluated. The results were analyzed statistically. Results: The incidence of scabies in 2019 were found to be higher than those in 2018 and 2017 (p0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of our study, there has been a gradual increase in the incidence of scabies, a disease that threatens public health. It should not be forgotten that this disease, which is more common in crowded families and in public areas, may cause epidemics in our country, which has received large numbers of immigrants in recent years.

Amaç: Uyuz, her yaştan ve sosyoekonomik durumdan bireyleri etkileyen yaygın bir enfestasyondur. Bu çalışmada, ülkemizde son zamanlarda görülme sıklığı belirgin olarak artan uyuz değerlendirilmekte ve ülkemizdeki epidemiyolojik verilere katkı sağlanması amaçlanmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 01 Ocak 2017 ile 31 Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran ve uyuz tanısı konulan 8.283 hastanın yaşı ve cinsiyeti geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Uyuz olan olguların yıllara, aylara ve mevsimlere göre dağılımı değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Yıllara göre hastalık insidans oranları karşılaştırıldığında, 2019 oranları 2018 ve 2017 yıllarına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulundu (p0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmamızdan elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar, halk sağlığını tehdit eden bir hastalık olan uyuz insidansında kademeli ve belirgin bir artış olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Kalabalık ailelerde ve toplu alanlarda daha sık görülen bu hastalığın son yıllarda çok sayıda göçmen alan ülkemizde salgınlara neden olabileceği unutulmamalıdır.
