Pinworm Infection

In the United States, pinworm infection, or enterobiasis, is the most common of all parasitic roundworm infections. It primarily affects school-age children. Due to the fact that pinworm infection is spread mainly by children, it is found most often in family groups, daycare centers, schools, and camp settings.
