TLDR The girl had harmless hair casts, not lice.
A 9-year-old girl was referred to a dermatology clinic for whitish granules attached to her hair, which her parents had noticed 8 months prior. Despite being otherwise healthy and having no history of scalp pruritis, she had already received antiscabetic treatment.
