Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
The incidence of pituitary tumors causing Cushing's syndrome may be relatively high, as much as one in five people, [1] but only a minute fraction are active and produce excessive hormones.
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 prevalence of Cushing's syndrome is 39-79 per million.[2][3]
Incidence
The overall incidence of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome is approximately 2–5 new cases per million people per year.[2]
Age
There is no gender predilection for Cushing's syndrome.
Gender
There is no gender predilection for Cushing's syndrome.
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
