What does pediculosis capitis refer to?

  1. A scalp infection

  2. A cut

  3. Lice

  4. Dandruff

The correct answer is: Lice

Pediculosis capitis is a medical term used to describe a condition of having head lice. A is incorrect because a scalp infection is a broader term and does not specifically refer to head lice. B is incorrect because a cut on the scalp would not be referred to by this term. D is incorrect because dandruff refers to a common skin condition characterized by dry, flaky scalp, and is not related to lice infestation.
