In most cases, the symptoms of threadworm infestation include: Intense itching in the anal region at night when the worms lay eggs. Inflammation of the anus as a result of constant scratching. In some cases, mild abdominal pain. Sometimes, tiny, white threadworms can be seen wriggling in the faeces after a bowel movement. In rare cases, infestation causes appendicitis. What might be done? The diagnosis can be confirmed by identification of threadworm eggs in a swab taken from the anal region. Your doctor will probably prescribe an anthelmintic drug to kill the worms effectively and speed recovery. Usually, the entire household is treated.
In girls, pinworm infection can cause vaginal itching and irritation (vaginitis). In severe cases, weight loss, restlessness, irritability, and loss of appetite may occur. In a few rare cases, attacks of appendicitis may have been caused by pinworms blocking the appendix.
