Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the infection rate of Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) in rural Malaysian children aged 1-8 years, revealing a 40.4% infection rate.
- Infection rates were notably higher in older children (ages 5-7) compared to younger ones.
- Socio-economic factors like household size, income, and mother's employment showed no significant correlation with infection, and three consecutive anal swabs proved to be more effective in detecting infections than a single swab.
