The 2020 International Alliance for the Control of Scabies Consensus Criteria for the Diagnosis of Scabies

Scabies is a common parasitic skin condition that causes considerable morbidity globally. Clinical and epidemiological research for scabies has been limited by a lack of standardization of diagnostic methods.
