The objective of this study is to obtain data on the incidence of scabies in the city of Podgorica, the observed ten-year period (2006 to 2015) and its incidence in relation to age and gender. The second objective was to find out whether the incidence is declining to the observed period.Scabies is contagious, worldwide disease, sporadically or in epidemic form. For the creation of this parasitosis, importance is given to the socioeconomic status, living conditions, sexual promiscuity, the development of resistant populations of the parasite. In developed countries, the incidence shows a cyclical fluctuation, with long, calm intervals, while in developing countries the incidence is constantly high. The disease is spread by close physical contact, often spreading within families and it is subject to mandatory reporting. In this paper, we used the official data of the Institute for Public Health in Podgorica, which included all clinical cases reported for the ten years, a total of 1,141 people, which are classified according to age and sex, for each year. Scabies as parasitism has been reported in the highest percentage among the younger population, aged 0-20 years, more common among males. The largest number of patients is registered in 2012.
