Overview

Enterobiasis is particularly common in children. Annually, around 200 million people are infected worldwide. The pinworm is the most common helminth (i.e., parasitic worm) infection in the United States and Western Europe.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Enterobiasis is more common in families with school-aged children, in primary caregivers of infected children, and in institutionalized children.

Prevalance

The people most likely to be infected with pinworm are children under 18. In these groups, the prevalence can reach 50%. The prevalence in this age group has been reported to be as high as 61,000 in India, 50,000 in England, 39,000 in Thailand, 37,000 in Sweden, and 29,000 in Denmark per 100,000 population. [1]

Incidence

It is estimated that over 200 million people around the globe and 20 million in USA are infected with pinworm anually. It is more common in the temperate regions and relatively rare in the tropics.[2][3]

Age

School-age children are most commonly infected with Enterobiasis.[4]

Gender

There is no gender predilection for enterobiasis.

Race

There is no racial predilection for enterobiasis.

Developed Countries

It is the most common helminth (i.e., parasitic worm) infection in the United States and Western Europe.

Developing Countries

Enterobiasis has a worldwide distribution.
