Enterobius vermicularis (PINWORMS) infection and enuresis (bedwetting) case report Infestatia cu Enterobius vermicularis si enurezisul nocturn raport de caz

Pinworms are a common helminth infection with prevalence rates in some communities of as high as 30-50%. Pinworms generally live in the gastrointestinal tract but ectopic sites such as appendix are frequently mentioned for these nematodes. The female Enterobius vermicularis migrates nightly to the perianal area to deposit her eggs, but some worms find their way into adjacent orifices, most commonly the female genitourinary tract, producing an array of symptoms. We present a case report of a massive infestation of urinary bladder leading to nocturnal enuresis in a 20 years old otherwise healthy female.
