title: Prolonged irritative voiding symptoms due to Enterobius vermicularis bladder infestation in an adult patient.
abstract: Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) is one of the most prevalent intestinal parasites in the world. The urinary tract is rarely affected and few cases have been reported. We report a case of bladder infestation by mature female worms of E. vermicularis in a woman presenting with irritative voiding symptoms.
