scratching the skin of the perineum. The eggs of pinworms
move from bedclothes and hands to all domestic and work
goods and foods. Shaking hands is also a way to transfer the
eggs of pinworms. After eggs enter the bowel, larvae is pro-
duced and after 2-4 weeks they develop into adult worms, and
the whole cycle repeats again.
Symptoms. A very important sign indicating the presence of
pinworms is itching around the anus, requiring scratching of
the area. Itching often occurs in the evening or at night dur-
ing sleep. Sometimes, abrasions are produced as a result of
scratching. On noticing these symptoms, steps are required for
dehelmintization.
In young girls, pinworms may make their way into the geni-
tal tract. This leads to vaginitis, accompanied by itching. There
may be a discharge from the genital tract.
When in the body, pinworms produce toxins that aff ect the
nervous system, causing irritation and depression.
Diagnosis. There is not normally any need to confi rm di-
agnosis, but if necessary, your doctor may conduct a further
examination with a piece of adhesive tape and a microscope
(adhesive tape is applied to the buttocks and then examined
under a microscope; if there are pinworm eggs on the skin, they
will be detected).
Application:
The “Pinworms” program is used once every 3 days. The
