The infection rate and relationship of enterobiasis with socio-economic status were determined in children aged 1-8 years, living in a rural area in Malaysia. Of the 178 subjects 40.4% were infected with Enterobius vermicularis. The distribution of enterobiasis among these children were analyzed in relation to age groups and sex. The rate of infection was significantly higher in older children (5-7 years). The association of enterobiasis with other factors studied such as number of persons per house, household income per months and mother's employment status were not significant. The sensitivity of three successive days anal swabs compared to a single swab was found to be statistically significant.
在马来西亚一个农村地区，对1至8岁儿童的蛲虫感染率及其与社会经济地位的关系进行了测定。在178名受试者中，40.4%感染了蠕形住肠线虫。分析了这些儿童中蛲虫病在不同年龄组和性别的分布情况。年龄较大的儿童（5至7岁）感染率明显更高。蛲虫病与所研究的其他因素，如每户人数、每月家庭收入和母亲就业状况之间的关联并不显著。结果发现，连续三天进行肛门拭子检查的敏感性与单次拭子检查相比具有统计学意义。
