Abstract
Saffos, Rosilie O., and Rhatigan, Ronald M.: Unilateral salpingitis due to Enterobius vermicularis. Am J Clin Pathol 67: 296–299, 1977. A case of perforated unilateral salpingitis in which Enterobius vermicularis ova were identified in the inflammatory process is reported. Arguments for considering the parasite to be of etiologic significance in the production of the pathologic changes and clinical symptoms are presented. The infrequent occurrence of symptoms associated with ectopic localization of Enterobius vermicularis is emphasized by a review of the literature.Keywords
