Abstract		Scabies started to appear in Slovenia in larger number by the end of sixties. For this reason a reporting system was enforced by the Ministry of Health. Reliable data are available since 1971. The peak incidence (4,3%) with 8646 cases was reached in 1972 while a second peak with 4412 cases (2,2%) appeared in 1982. The yearly incidence of over 1000 cases still persists. From the clinical experience it was concluded that the majority of cases were imported by guest workers from the underdeveloped regions of former Yugoslavia.
