Surgical Procedure
No cases of E. vermicularis infestation occurred in appendices showing chronic inflammation or removed during the course of other surgical procedures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Foul Smelling Discharge
She revealed a foul smelling discharge without complaint of itching. Enterobius vermicularis eggs were demonstrated during microscopic examination of a smear taken from the posterior fornix of the vagina. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Gangrene
In specimen containing E. vermicularis, 69% had no evidence of appendicitis and of those that had, no gangrene or perforation was seen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Flank Pain
A 33-year-old Korean woman, para 2. visited an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, Kumi-shi, Kyongsangbuk-do, due to postcoital spotting and flank pain. She had a tubal ligation 7 years before and demonstrated back pain during menstruation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Burning Micturition
Here we present such a case in a 7-year-old girl presenting with fever, pain in the abdomen, vomiting and burning micturition. Ultrasonography and micturating cystourethrogram (MCU) studies were normal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pelvic Pain in Women
Abstract Parasitic infestation is an uncommon cause of chronic pelvic pain among women of reproductive age. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
A higher proportion of pre-treatment Salmonella spp. was associated with a non-increase in SIgA after mebendazole deworming treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Even though the prognosis for pinworm infection is very good, complications can set in. [encyclopedia.com]
Prognosis Pinworm infection does not cause severe morbidity unless ectopic infection occurs. This rare complication occurs in individuals with conditions that compromise the integrity of the bowel wall (eg, inflammatory bowel disease). [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Arguments for considering the parasite to be of etiologic significance in the production of the pathologic changes and clinical symptoms are presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Enterobius vermicularis, coomonly known as pinworm, in the etiologic agent of the the most pervalent nematode infection of humans in temperate climates, affecting mainly children less than 12 years of age. [link.springer.com]
Epidemiology
This epidemiological survey was performed to describe the profile of E. vermicularis infection in schoolchildren in Miaoli County and Taichung County. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
epidemiology classification and characteristics transmission and infection clinical manifestations diagnosis treatment Epidemiology E. vermicularis is found worldwide but is most common in temperate regions, where person-to-person transmission is greatest [sharinginhealth.ca]
Up to this date, there are no comprehensive data describing the epidemiology of enterobiasis among preschool children living in an urban area. [content.sciendo.com]
Pathophysiology
The authors describe two unequivocal instances of threadworm involvement in perianal sepsis, suggesting a pathophysiological basis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology and Etiology The primary symptoms of pinworm infection include pruritus or a prickling sensation in the perianal area, which is produced when a gravid female pinworm migrates to the anal area and inserts her tail pin into the mucosa for [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Prompt recognition and a high clinical index of suspicion are required to prevent an unnecessary appendicectomy. Caution is advised when performing a laparoscopic appendectomy, as in our case, to prevent contamination of the peritoneum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment and Prevention Diagnosis of pinworm infection is made by an examination of the patient's anal region. [encyclopedia.com]
Control and prevention Pin worm control and prevention measures include practicing proper personal hygiene, particularly hand washing; apply an ointment or salve to an infected perianal area to help prevent egg dispersal into the environment; and avoiding [de.slideshare.net]
