[evolution of enterobiasis demonstrated by the action of active and passive detection with a (modified) nih method in oradea].the incidence of enterobiosis in the infantile population of oradea was followed up by a modified nih laboratory method. active detection revealed an incidence of a latent state of enterobiosis of 21.9% in 1970, which fell to 3.9% in 1973. by passive detection, enterobiosis was found to decrease from 22.6% in 1970 to 16.1% in 1973, owing to the efficiency of the investigations and treatment applied.1976135333
[aspects of the relation between enterobius vermicularis and appendectomy in oradea].the relationship between the nematode enterobius vermicularis and appendicectomy in three age-groups: 0--15, 16--20 and 21--25 years was followed during the 1968-1973 period. following the compaign against enterobiosis, there was a significant decrease in the number of operations for appendicitis in the 0--15 years age-group; the incidence of appendicectomy was greater in the 16--20 years age-group than in the reference 21--25 years age-group.1977144993

enterobius vermicularis (pinworms), introital bacteriology and recurrent urinary tract infection in children.the relationship between pinworm infectation and introital cultures was investigated in 2 groups of girls. those children with recurrent urinary tract infections were compared to agematched controls who had never had a urinary tract infection. we found a higher incidence of enteric organisms on the introital area and pinworm ova on the perianal skin in the group of girls with recurrent infection.1978359837
human parasitoses of the malili area, south sulawesi (celebes) province, indonesia.a biomedical survey was conducted in 9 villages in the malili area of south sulawesi, indonesia. blood specimens were examined for malaria and microfilariae; stool specimens were examined for intestinal parasites. malaria parasitemias were rare; plasmodium falciparum was detected in 10 and p. vivax in 11 of 985 blood smears. malayan filariasis was endemic to all villages surveyed. the overall prevalence of detectable microfilaremias was 15%, varying from 34% in kawata to 1% in nuha. microfilaria ...1978364674
oxyuris granulomas of pelvic peritoneum and appendicular wall.infestation with enterobius (oxyuris) vermicularis is very common but seldom produces lesions and even more rarely causes granulomas. two cases of oxyuris granulomas/nodules), one in the serosa of ovaries and left fallopian tube in a female of 32-years and the other in the submucosa of the appendix in a 10-year old girl are identified by the presence of true necrotizing granulomas containing the parasite. the pathogenesis and differential diagnosis of abdominal granulomas is discussed.1979428923
probstmayria vivipara pinworms in ponies.from 1967--1978 observations were made on the presence of the small equine pinworm, probstmayria vivipara, in seven experimental ponies. the life cycle of this nematode is unusual in that it is endogenous with development of all stages occurring within the host's digestive tract. initially, worms were found in the feces of four of seven ponies following treatment with thiabendazole but the infection was later transmitted to all ponies possibly via coprophagy. still later, based on fecal and post ...1979487251

invasion of the fallopian tube by enterobius vermicularis.a solitary granuloma containing a gravid female pinworm was incidentally found in the fallopian tube of a 27 year old woman. on rare occasions, pinworms have been found outside the gastrointestinal tract, most frequently in the peritoneal cavity. the reported cases have been found at all levels of the female reproductive tract from the introitus to the fallopian tube. thus, the hypothesis is supported that the worms reach the pelvic cavity via the genital tract. in addition, pinworm granulomas h ...1979533233
[vulvar granuloma due to enterobius vermicularis (author's transl)].the authors report a case of casual discovery of a enterobiasic vulvar granuloma arising on the left labia. this woman, living in lille (france), 70 years had been treated by surgery and roentgentherapy for a well differentiated squamous carcinoma of the vulva. they consider the question of the genital localisation of enterobius vermicularis in women and discuss the pathogenic hypothesis.1979541479

enterobius vermicularis in ectopic sites.we document six cases in which tissues were invaded by enterobius vermicularis. these cases illustrate several mechanisms whereby the worms form granulomata in ectopic sites. in three cases, the worms passed through pre-existing breaches in the intestinal mucosa. in one case, a gravid worm migrated via the female genital tract to ther peritoneal cavity. in two other cases, male worms were found on the outer surface of the intestine, suggesting active penetration of the intestinal wall.1977889006
