  Epidemic typhus can cause vasculitis leading to limb ischemia, gangrene, central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction, and multiorgan failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pruritus

  The symptoms like pruritus are managed with antihistamines and topical corticosteroids. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Infested patients can be asymptomatic or most commonly suffer from pruritus. Detection of lice or nits on the body or clothes usually confirms the diagnosis. [amboss.com]

  The excoriations on the trunk should be treated with application of calamine lotion or topical corticosteroids with an antibiotic along with a systemic antihistaminic for pruritus. [gradestack.com]

• Nits on the Hair

  One female louse deposits approximately 60 to 150 nits to hair shafts or crawls onto the body to feed (corporis). Nits survive by ingesting blood from the human host. A louse bite injects a toxin into the skin. [quizlet.com]

  The body louse lays nits on clothing, especially the inner seams of fabric; therefore eggs are not found on the hair as with other lice. CA0611Pediculosis_Exam Diagnosis depends on observation on observation of nits, nymphs or the adult louse. [clinicaladvisor.com]
