Pin Worm Infestation: An Uncommon Presentation as Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection in Adult: A Case Report

Pin worm (Enterobius vermicularis) is common intestinal nematode infection in India and with a disproportionate number of cases among children. Mostly they affect gastrointestinal tract. Genital enterobiasis rarely occur and chronic infection of urinary tract even rarer. At night, adult female pin worm migrates to perianal area and after laying egg goes to genital tract due to proximity of anal canal in female patients. Here we report a case of 26-year-old female presented with urinary frequency, dysuria, lower abdominal pain, and adult motile pin worm identified on urine sample.

Abstract

Pin worm (Enterobius vermicularis) is common intestinal nematode infection in India and with a disproportionate number of cases among children. Mostly they affect gastrointestinal tract. Genital enterobiasis rarely occur and chronic infection of urinary tract even rarer. At night, adult female pin worm migrates to perianal area and after laying egg goes to genital tract due to proximity of anal canal in female patients. Here we report a case of 26-year-old female presented with urinary frequency, dysuria, lower abdominal pain, and adult motile pin worm identified on urine sample.
