Enterobius vermicularis
Egg of Pinworm in Urine Microscopy
It is not common to find eggs of the pinworm, Enterobius vermicularis, in urine microscopy, as the parasite primarily inhabits the large intestine and anal area of infected individuals. However, if eggs are present in urine, it may suggest that the infection is severe and has spread to the urinary tract.

The eggs of Enterobius vermicularis are generally not visible under normal light microscopy but can be detected using specialized techniques such as the cellophane tape test, in which a piece of clear tape is pressed against the skin around the anus to collect eggs. These eggs can then be examined under a microscope.

The typical appearance of Enterobius vermicularis eggs is oval-shaped, thin-shelled, and transparent, with a size of approximately 50-60 micrometers in length and 20-30 micrometers in width. The eggs may contain developing larvae inside, which can be visualized under higher magnification.

In summary, while it is rare to find Enterobius vermicularis eggs in urine microscopy, the presence of eggs in any sample may suggest a severe infection and specialized diagnostic techniques such as the cellophane tape test should be utilized to confirm the diagnosis.
