Enterobius vermicularis, an intestinal helminth, is transmitted through the ingestion of eggs found in food, water, dust, or other fomites, including infected individuals. This review aimed to examine the frequency and distribution of E. vermicularis infections in Brazil between 1991 and 2022. The conducted bibliographic survey revealed that the frequency of E. vermicularis infections in Brazil ranged from 0.1 to 26.1%, depending on factors such as population ethnicity, individual age group, geographic area, time frame, and diagnostic method. However, these findings were based on a limited number of publications, suggesting that the actual prevalence rates of E. vermicularis infection may still be unknown and potentially underestimated.
蠕形住肠线虫是一种肠道寄生虫，通过摄入食物、水、灰尘或其他污染物（包括感染者）中发现的虫卵进行传播。本综述旨在191年至2022年间巴西蠕形住肠线虫感染的频率和分布情况。所进行的文献调查显示，巴西蠕形住肠线虫感染的频率在0.1%至26.1%之间，具体取决于人群种族、个体年龄组、地理区域、时间范围和诊断方法等因素。然而，这些发现基于数量有限的出版物，这表明蠕形住肠线虫感染的实际流行率可能仍然未知，并且可能被低估。
