Extraintestinal Presentation of Enterobius Vermicularis in a 14-Year Girl

Enterobius vermicularis (EV) is an intestinal parasite that usually presents with nocturnal perianal pruritis. Few extraintestinal manifestations have also been reported in the literature. Herein, we report an EV infection in the conjunctival sac of a 14-year girl with mild ocular irritation and redness. She felt some thread-like structure coming from her eyes. General physical and ophthalmological examination was unremarkable. Her stool detailed examination was not performed. The thread-like structure was identified microscopically as EV. She was treated with oral albendazole. Only four comparable cases have been reported in contemporary medical literature, all from India. This report presents the first case from Pakistan.
