| | Nematodes Review Notes |
| | Enterobius vermicularis does not migrate through the tissues, and it does not cause eosinophilia. | | | Enterobius vermicularis is the most common nematode infection in the United States. It is equally common in developed and developing countries. It is more frequent in children. | | | Infection with Enterobius vermicularis is frequently asymptomatic. The most typical symptom is perianal itching, which can lead to excoriations and bacterial superinfection. Since the egg only takes 4-6 hours to become infectious, the itching can lead to reinfection. Very occasionally, ectopic disease is seen because of local migration (i.e., appendicitis or salpingitis). |
