Scabies is a parasitic infestation caused by <i>Sarcoptes scabiei var hominis</i> which is a microscopic mite that burrows into the skin and lays eggs. Prevalence of the condition range from 0.2% to 71% globally. This study was therefore conducted to investigate the suspected community scabies outbreak in Katondo Health Post of Kasenengwa District and bring out the significant associated factors. Unmatched case control study was conducted (1:2 case control ratio). Suspected outbreak was identified through weekly notifiable report. Desk review of the Out Patient Register (OPD) was done to determine additional suspected cases. Structured questionnaire was administered to collect risk factors data. Total study participants were therefore cases with clinical signs of symptoms unmatched to controls within the area. Frequency tables were used to present demographic variables. Attack rate was used to measure morbidity. Odds Ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to determine risk factors. Total of 64 clinical scabies cases were recorded giving an attack rate of 1/100 people. Mandondo zone which was the index case zone recorded the highest attack rate of 3/100 people. Mean age of the cases was 18 with range of 11-56 years. Statistically significant factors associated with the outbreak were Low education ((OR=4.9, 95% CI=1.34-6.45, P-Value=0.014), record of exchanging clothes (OR=2.1, 95%CI=1.45-5.34, P value 0.001), Skin contact with suspected case (OR=2.5, 95% CI=0.74-8.68, P Value=0.012), bathing less than 3 times per week (OR=5.4, 95% CI=2.38-14.43, P value: 0.000). Protective factors were, use of soap for bathing (OR=0.34, 95% CI=0.21-2.71, P value=0.003), family member less than 5 (OR=0.12, 95% CI= 0.12-0.06, P Value=0.000). From the results, it can be deduced that scabies outbreak occurred in Katondo Health Facility. Low education, record of exchanging clothes, bathing less than 3 times per week, and skin contact with the suspected case were the risk factors associated with outbreak. Epidemic protective factors were, use of soap for bathing and belonging to a household with family members less than 5. Providing risk factors-based health education on prevention and controls especially, at health facility and community level were recommended.
