Overview

Occasionally, adult Enterobius vermicularis can be identified on colonoscopy, appendiceal tissue histology and eggs can be seen in urine.

Colonoscopy

In heavy worm infestations, adult worms can be seen during colonoscopy.^[1]

Urinalysis

Rarely, Enterobius vermicularis eggs are found in urine.^[1]

Appendiceal tissue

Incidentally, appendiceal tissue can also reveal pinworms.

Gallery

Photomicrographic study of a section of appendiceal tissue, revealed the presence of a pinworm, Enterobius vermicularis, previously Oxyuris vermicularis, which had been cut in cross-section. From Public Health Image Library (PHIL). ^[2]

-Diagnosis is often made clinically by observing the female worm (or many worms) in the peri-anal region, but can also be made using the [["scotch-tape" test]], in which the sticky side of a strip of [[cellophane]] tape is pressed against the peri-anal skin, then examined under a microscope for pinworm eggs.
