Enterobiasis or oxyuriasis from Enterobius vermicularis is an infection usually localized in the large bowel and cecum. Generally, the symptoms are characterized by anal itching, and intestinal or nervous disorders. Rarely, it is responsible for death.
A forensic autopsy of a 52-year-old white male inmate who died 5 days after hospitalization was performed. Histological and toxicological analyses were also performed.
The death occurred by localization of Enterobius vermicularis in the duodenum and in the proximal ileum, with intestinal haemorrhage, inflammation, and peritonitis documented by histological examination.
This is a common infectious disease, and can rarely occur with a fatal outcome, even in advanced populations. The lack of knowledge related to the rarity of death from enterobiasis disease can determine a dangerous concern.
由蠕形住肠线虫引起的蛲虫病或尖尾线虫病是一种通常局限于大肠和盲肠的感染。一般来说,症状表现为肛门瘙痒以及肠道或神经紊乱。该病极少导致死亡。
对一名52岁白人男性住院患者进行了法医尸检,该患者在住院5天后死亡。同时还进行了组织学和毒理学分析。
死亡原因是蠕形住肠线虫定位于十二指肠和回肠近端,组织学检查证实存在肠道出血、炎症和腹膜炎。
这是一种常见的传染病,即使在成年人中也极少出现致命后果。对蛲虫病死亡罕见性缺乏了解可能会引发危险的担忧。
