Abstract
We report the case of female genital tract enterobiasis. The patient is a pediatrician at a large general hospital and was suffering from nocturia, dysuria and vaginal itching. Vaginal examination showed mild inflammation and normal hematogram. The midstream urine and the culture of vaginal discharge were negative. The Gram-stained microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge showed normal numbers of galactobacilli and absence of fungus, but the microscopic examination of fresh preparation of vaginal discharge revealed 3–4 leukocytes/mm3 and E. vermicularis of about 4 mm. The patient was treated with mebendazole 100 mg PO bid for 3 days and all the symptoms disappeared. In order to prevent possible re-infection, the treatment was repeated with a further two courses. After three months the cellotape test was negative.
