-==Overview==
+{{CMG}} {{AE}} {{MMF}}
-'''Enterobiasis''' is the medical condition of being [[infection|infected]] with [[pinworm]]s (''[[Enterobius vermicularis]]'').  It may be referred to, less precisely, as '''oxyuriasis''', in reference to the [[Family (biology)|family]] ''Oxyuridae'', which contains the [[genus]] Enterobiasis.

-==Symptoms==
+==[[Enterobiasis overview|Overview]]==
-The symptoms may include painful itching around the [[anus]], restless [[sleep]], poor [[appetite]], and failure to gain weight.
-The itching will often lead to re-infection as the [[Egg (biology)|egg]]s are captured under the [[fingernail]]s, and eventually reintroduced orally. The eggs can also be spread by air and other mechanisms eventually leading to oral introduction into the victim.
+==[[Enterobiasis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-==Treatment==
+==[[Enterobiasis classification|Classification]]==
-The condition can be treated with [[mebendazole]] (Vermox), [[piperazine]] (Antepar), or mostly commonly [[pyrantel pamoate]] (Combatrin, Povan). Also great care should be taken to shower daily, and wash hands before every meal to avoid re-infection. All infected materials (pajamas, bedclothes, and underwear) should be washed with soap and hot water daily. Taking a second dose of medication two weeks after the first will usually kill any pinworms that might have hatched in the meantime, before they are able to produce new eggs.

+==[[Enterobiasis natural history|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
-The pinworm occurs worldwide, and in all socio-economic groups. However, it is more common in temperate regions, and among those with poor [[hygiene]]. That does not mean that people with good hygiene cannot get infected, however. 500 million infections are reported annually worldwide. 50% of children become infected at some point.
