Pinworm infection, caused by the parasite Enterobius vermicularis, is a common condition, particularly in children. The infection occurs when pinworm eggs are ingested, leading to the maturation of worms in the intestine. The most prominent symptom is intense itching around the anus, especially at night when the female worms lay eggs. This itching can disrupt sleep and lead to secondary infections due to scratching.

Diagnosis typically involves the tape test, where a piece of clear tape is pressed against the perianal region early in the morning before washing. The tape is then examined under a microscope to identify pinworm eggs. In some cases, visual inspection of the anal area at night may reveal adult worms.

Treatment for pinworm infection is straightforward and usually involves over-the-counter or prescription medications like mebendazole, albendazole, or pyrantel pamoate. A single dose is often effective, but a follow-up dose two weeks later is recommended to eliminate any remaining eggs. Additionally, strict hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, washing bedding, and cleaning the home environment, are crucial to prevent reinfection and transmission to others. Household members are often treated simultaneously to reduce the risk of reinfection.Fenbendazole 444Mg is solution of Hookworms. Buy Fenbendazole online at Medzsupplier.
