Light micrograph of a vaginal smear showing two eggs of the pinworm Enterobius vermicularis. This species of nematode is normally an inhabitant of the human intestine,where it causes enterobiasis,a disease common in children throughout the world. Female worms emerge from the anus at night,provoking intense itching. Worms occasionally enter the vulva to provoke a vaginal discharge. Enterobiasis is treated with piperazine compounds.
