“…The results were comparable to those found (30), which showed that the infection with the parasite E. vermicularis by 11.6%. This is almost consistent with what was stated (31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39), which confirmed that the most parasitic etiology of appendicitis is E. vermicularis where the adult parasite is isolated as well as its eggs from the inflamed appendix that has been surgically removed (40)(41)(42). The results are also lower than the results (32), Where 18.2% of those who suffer from appendicitis recorded the presence of the parasite E. vermicularis, also pointed to the presence of E. vermicularis in inflammatory appendages more than healthy appendages.…”

The study was conducted during the period between July 2018 and until February 2019 were examined (419) random stool samples for children aged (1-12 years). It included a number of schools and kindergartens in each of the city center, and different areas of its surroundings province of Diwaniya and for both sexes. The results of the study showed that the incidence infected rates were 43.67%.As for the relationship between E. vermicularis and appendicitis, 109 surgically removed appendicitis were collected from Women and Children hospital and Diwaniya Teaching Hospital in Al Diwaniya Governorate. The results of the study showed a relationship between pinworm parasites and appendicitis by 11.92% in each Males and females depending on the examination of the contents of the appendix waste.The results of the examination of 419 children under the age of 12 years for the detection of E. vermicularis and study the relationship of the incidence of urinary incontinence in children. The results showed a relationship between the parasite E. vermicularis and the phenomenon of night incontinence by 66.66% for both sexes. The results of the study also showed a relationship between the incidence of night incontinence and the presence of pinworms with age and sex. The results of the statistical analysis confirmed a positive correlation between the phenomenon of night incontinence with the presence of the parasite E. vermicularis at the probability level P <0.05. With the presence of significant differences between the occurrence of this phenomenon in the presence of parasite with age and gender at a level of probability 0.05.

“…The disease typically has a benign evolution with rare complications, and anthelmintic therapies are effective in the majority of cases (Cook, 1994;Georgiev, 2001;Botero and Restrepo, 2012). Ectopic locations are uncommon, but pinworms can occasionally be detected in the appendix (Tapia and Muñoz, 2011;Levens et al, 2014;Hamdona et al, 2016;Lala and Upadhyay, 2016), kidney, liver, lung, urinary tract, female genital tract (Cook, 1994;Das et al, 2001;Craggs et al, 2009;Powell et al, 2013;Kashyap et al, 2014;Ngui et al, 2014;Pigac et al, 2017), mesenteric lymph node (Zafar et al, 2018) and caecal polyp (Elsaid et al, 2014), which are all potential reservoirs of this parasite.…”

Enterobiasis and its risk factors in urban, rural and indigenous children of subtropical Argentina

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A cross-sectional survey to assess the prevalence of Enterobius vermicularis infection and its associated factors among the child population of infant, preschool and school age in the urban, rural and indigenous population of Iguazú city, in subtropical Argentina was presented. Additionally, the status of enterobiasis at country level was reviewed and analysed. Enterobius vermicularis presence was assessed employing an oviscopic serial sampling technique. Statistical analysis of socio-demographic determinants was performed by generalized linear mixed models at individual, household and community levels. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines were used to gather national information about E. vermicularis prevalence spanning the decade 2010–2020. A total of 916 children from 470 families participated. Overall prevalence was 29.8%, with 25.3, 30.7 and 34.2% detected for children inhabiting urban, rural and indigenous villages, respectively. The multi-level analysis showed that the presence of E. vermicularis was mostly determined by individual (e.g. age, playing habits, previous pinworm infection) and household-level factors (e.g. family size, overcrowding conditions). Interestingly, WASH variables, such as waste disposal, analysed at community level were also important. Data were analysed to provide eco-epidemiological features of enterobiasis in a heterogeneous subtropical child population in the same territory but with different socio-sanitary realities. The importance of promoting multi-level actions against the determinants identified, to control this public health problem integratively was evidenced. The scoping review of national data updated the state of knowledge of this parasitosis, identifying risk determinants and gaps in knowledge at country level.

“…Most cases of enterobiasis involving the appendix are diagnosed by finding adult worms in the lumen. 2,3 The presence of the parasite in the wall of the appendix has also been reported. 4,5 However, the invasive potential of E vermicularis has not been conclusively proved, and deserves future study.…”

Intramural Ova of Enterobius vermicularis in the Appendix—An Egg-Topic Location!

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We report an unusual case of appendicitis in a 9-year-old girl in whom the wall of the appendix contained necrotizing granulomas, as well as eggs of Enterobius vermicularis. Although luminal E vermicularis adult parasites are commonly identified in the appendix and luminal eggs are occasionally seen, intramural worms and eggs are rare. We are unaware of earlier reports of ectopic intramural eggs in the appendix. It is important to and make a correct diagnosis, as both, the patient, as well as the family should be treated for enterobiasis.
