Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of Enterobius vermicularis, a parasitic worm that causes enterobiasis, in a urinalysis specimen is not common, and its presence may indicate an infection of the urinary or genitourinary tract. The presence of waxy casts in the specimen may also indicate renal tubular disease. As the patient is a pediatric patient, there is an additional concern. Therefore, a urinalysis supervisor is likely to be concerned about these results and should consult with a physician for further evaluation and treatment.
