“…However, complete life cycle of the helminth, from egg to adult worm, usually takes 2 to 4 weeks [17]. Although E. vermicularis infection commonly presents with perianal pruritus [18], it has also been reported to be associated with chronic abdominal pain, urinary tract infection, salpingitis, eosinophilic ileocolitis and pelvic abscess [19][20][21][22]. Couple of possible hypotheses explained the correlation between E. vermicularis and appendicitis of which mostly suggested ectopic migration of the parasite [23,24].…”

“…30 An ascending genital infection due to poor hygiene, obesity, or urinary abnormalities, and obstructive genital system anomalies are considered the most likely pathogenetic mechanisms of infection. 30 Genital enterobiasis associated with obstructive phenomena caused by accumulation of Enterobius vermicularis eggs, which predisposes to inflammation either by the parasite itself or by bacterial agents, 31 and genital salmonellosis from extraintestinal spread of Salmonella spp., 32 have also been described.…”

“…Since the eggs are deposited outside the intestine, conventional stool microscopy is not a helpful diagnostic tool; however, infection is easily identified using the Graham’s scotch tape method. There have been some extremely rare cases of infection of Enterobius vermicularis in the urinary tract, kidney, biliary tree, fallopian tube, and eye ( Table 1 ) [ 5 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. However, the vast majority of infected patients remain asymptomatic.…”
