Abstract:
The relationship between the nematode Enterobius vermicularis and appendicectomy in three age-groups: 0--15, 16--20 and 21--25 years was followed during the 1968-1973 period. Following the compaign against enterobiosis, there was a significant decrease in the number of operations for appendicitis in the 0--15 years age-group; the incidence of appendicectomy was greater in the 16--20 years age-group than in the reference 21--25 years age-group.
