Answers:
Enterobiasis is an intestinal infestation by Enterobius vermicularis, usually in children. Its major symptom is perianal itching. Diagnosis is by visual inspection for threadlike worms in the perianal area or the cellophane tape test for ova. Treatment is with pyrantel pamoate, mebendazole, or albendazole.
Anti-parasite (antihelminthic) medications are the first line of treatment against a pinworm infection. The most common anti-parasite medications for pinworms are mebendazole (Vermox) and pyrantel (Antiminth, Pin-Rid). They work by killing the adult worms as well as the larvae and eggs to prevent reinfection. You may have mild gastrointestinal side effects during the course of treatment, and you may need to take multiple doses to get rid of the pinworms completely. If anal or vaginal itching is severe or interfering with your sleep, your doctor may prescribe a soothing ointment or cream to use until the pinworms are eliminated.
