Abstract
Abstract: Human pinworm infections are among the most common intestinal parasitic infections in the world. In adult population they remain a largely underestimated sexually transmitted infection. We present a case of a female medical student infected and treated for enterobiasis with special footage of a moving Enterobius vermicularis inside the egg. The patient as well as her sexual partner were treated successfully with a standard antiparasitic regimen. Streszczenie: Zarażenie owsikiem jest jedną z najczęstszych jelitowych chorób pasożytniczych na świecie. W populacji dorosłych stanowi zdecydowanie niedoszacowaną pod względem częstości chorobę przenoszoną drogą płciową. Przedstawiamy opis przypadku studentki medycyny zarażonej i leczonej w kierunku owsicy wraz z wyjątkowym filmem ukazującym ruch owsika w jaju. Pacjentka oraz jej partner seksualny zostali poddani skutecznej terapii przeciwpasożytniczej według standardowego protokołu leczenia. To cite this article: Kochan P, Pietrzyk A, Bulanda M.
