Overview
Occasionally, adult Enterobius vermicularis can be identified on colonoscopy, appendiceal tissue histology and eggs can be seen in urine.
Colonoscopy
In heavy worm infestations, adult worms can be seen during colonoscopy.[1]
Urinalysis
Rarely, Enterobius vermicularis eggs are found in urine.[1]
Appendiceal tissue
Incidentally, appendiceal tissue can also reveal pinworms.
