Enterobiasis and urinary tract infection

G Jójárt

    Summary

    This study investigated pinworm infections (enterobiasis) in girls with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Results showed no significant link between enterobiasis and UTIs in this age group, suggesting pinworms do not cause UTIs.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric infectious diseases
    • Urology
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in young girls.
    • Enterobiasis (pinworm infection) is also prevalent in this demographic.
    • A potential link between these conditions requires investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the correlation between enterobiasis and urinary tract infections in girls aged 6-14 years.
    • To assess if enterobiasis is a contributing factor to UTIs in pediatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study design was employed.
    • Enterobius ova were detected using serial anorectal scrapings (three per participant).
    • Infection rates were compared between girls with UTIs and healthy controls.

    Main Results:

    • Enterobiasis was detected in 55 of 84 girls with UTIs and 60 of 100 control girls.
    • The prevalence of enterobiasis did not differ significantly between the UTI and control groups.
    • No increased frequency of enterobiasis was observed with recurrent UTIs or in cases of monosymptomatic bacteriuria/pyuria.

    Conclusions:

    • Enterobiasis does not appear to play a significant pathogenic role in the development of urinary tract infections in girls.
    • Further research may explore other potential etiological factors for pediatric UTIs.
