CASE:
Eddie Ball Paras, the 3-year old youngest child of Bobby Paras and
Ellen Ball, complams of perianal itching for the Past two weeks.
Three months Prior to consult , Eddie was seen at the lawn while
playing house with their neighbors. Because he was enjoying
playing with his friends, it was only after a few hours when
Mommy Ellen brought him home and washed the dirt around his
mouth.
Two weeks prior to consult, Eddie was noted to be scratching his
anus especially at night which he claimed to be itchy. During sleep,
he was also noted to be restless and to involuntarily urinate in his
pajamas tn the middle of the night on some occasions.
On the night prior to consultation, Mommy Ellen noted small
moving worms in Eddie's perianal area for which she decided to
immediately consult the following day.
PE revealed tiny, white, threadlike worms with some excoriation
upon shining a flashlight in the perianal area. The scotch tape test
that you requested was positive for Enterobius vermicularis eggs.
Eddie now weighs 16 kg from his previous weight of 18 kg.
You prescribe an antihelminthic for Eddie and emphasized to him,
in words that he can understand, that anything that touches the
ground, including food and his dity hands, are inedible.
