Use

The Pinworm Examination is the recommended test for detection of Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm), especially in individuals (often children) presenting with perineal pruritus. The test uses perianal sampling to detect E. vermicularis eggs, providing accurate diagnosis when pinworm infection is suspected and a visible worm or typical symptoms are present. It is considered the preferred method over an O&P exam for pinworm detection.
