[The eggs of Enterobius vermicularis in room dust. I. Methods].

Results of anal swabs have been compared with room dust samples. The room dust was collected using little brushes as well as a vacuum cleaner from a standard surface of 0.25 m2. To collect room dust by vacuum cleaner, a slide was placed into a special chamber, connected to an absorbing device. Eggs of E. vermicularis have been found in samples made with anal swabs, room dust brushes and the vacuum cleaner, respectively, as follows: in the first examination 34%, 17.4% and 25.1%, in the second examination 35%, 17.7% and 15.7% and in the third examination 42%, 15.7% and 35.4%..

[Survey of Enterobius vermicularis infection among school children in Tainan City].

A survey was conducted for enterobiasis, in six primary schools at Tainan city. The survey was conducted in 1986, involving 8,120 school children. The manner of testing, was two consecutive day, adhesive cellophane paper perianal swabs. The test resulted in general infection rate of 30.4%. The positive rates among those primary school children were significantly different (chi 2-test, p less than 0.001). The highest rate (40.3%), was in Shih-Men primary school and the lowest rate (18.7%) in Pao-Jeng primary school. Gender occurrence of enterobiasis was determined by making a statistic analysis between sex. We found significantly higher occurrence in males (32.4%) as opposed to females (28.3%) (chi 2-test, p less than 0.001). The infection rates were also significantly different by grade (chi 2-test, p less than 0.001). The highest rate was found in the lower grades (35.3%), the next in the middle grades (32.4%), and the lowest in the higher grades (21.6%). A questionnaire demonstrated that the family status and personal hygiene are the most important factors in transmission of pinworm infection, among the group surveyed. Moreover, the educational levels, occupations of parents, and facilities of bathrooms, (between both primary schools) were also found significantly associated with the transmission of pinworm infection. Therefore, we believe that these factors play a role in transmission of pinworm infection among school children.
