What is the average number of mites found on the body in a person suffering from regular scabies?: (A) 2-Jan, (B) 10-May, (C) 15-Oct, (D) 15 - 20
Answer is C. The difference between Norwegian scabies and regular scabies is the number of mites found on the infected individual. Regular scabies usually causes a person to host about 10 to 15 (range 3-50) mites at a time; a patient who has Norwegian scabies has thousands to millions.
