[The role of Enterobius vermicularis in etiopathogenesis of appendicitis].
The authors present 14 cases of enterobiasis of appendix observed between 1991-94, on a total of 1093 appendectomies. The presence of the parasite was associated, in the majority of cases, to a chronic appendicitis. The symptomatology imitates an attack of acute appendicitis, but the true nature of the disease is diagnosed only through a histological examination. There is probably an etiopathogenic relationship between. E. vermicularis and chronic appendicitis, whereas the relationship between the parasite and acute appendicitis is rare and very disputed.
