Prolonged irritative voiding symptoms due to Enterobius vermicularis bladder infestation in an adult patient

Abstract

Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) is one of the most prevalent intestinal parasites in the world. The urinary tract is rarely affected and few cases have been reported. We report a case of bladder infestation by mature female worms of E. vermicularis in a woman presenting with irritative voiding symptoms.
