Abstract
Enterobius vermicularis is a common parasitic infection worldwide. Acute appendicitis (AA) is a frequently encountered condition in general surgery; however, its association with E. vermicularis remains controversial. AA caused by E. vermicularis is a relatively uncommon infection that primarily affects children. We reported a 21-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital due to right lower quadrant abdominal tenderness. Laboratory tests and imaging were not consistent with AA. She underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy and appendectomy. Histopathological examinations revealed the presence of E. vermicularis in the lumen of the appendix, which caused its obstruction without evidence of inflammatory cell infiltration or lymphoid hyperplasia.
蠕虫肠杆菌是一种全球常见的寄生虫感染。急性阑尾炎（AA）是普外科经常遇到的一种疾病，但其与蚯蚓虫的关系仍存在争议。由蠕虫引起的急性阑尾炎是一种相对少见的感染，主要影响儿童。我们报告了一名因右下腹压痛而入院的 21 岁女性患者。实验室检查和影像学检查均与 AA 不相符。她接受了诊断性腹腔镜检查和阑尾切除术。组织病理学检查显示，阑尾腔内存在蚓部包虫，导致阑尾阻塞，但无炎症细胞浸润或淋巴细胞增生的迹象。
