Scabies -- Switzerland
In a letter, the St. Gallen cantonal doctor Dr. Markus Betschart [appealed] to all doctors in the canton that when asylum seekers present with scabies and bacterial infections as skin problems they should be especially observed.
"GPs increasingly treat asylum seekers, and we want to make them aware of scabies and the treatment options," explained Betschart in his letter.
An accumulation of scabies was confirmed by GP Reto Gross, who regularly deals with refugees from the reception center
