Enterobiasis or pinworms infection is one of the most prevalent worms found in children worldwide . There was a possible association between certain infection and the propensity to develop nocturnal enuresis including intestinal helminthes infection. Prospective study included (100) randomly selected children aged range (6-12) years from both sex, have been acquired from primary schools in the center of Al-Kut city. The children were examined for E.vermicularis infection by microscopic examination .Total positivity rate of Enterobiasis among children from 6 -12 years was 14% & the number of positive sample were 14 out of 100 child examined .37 (16.2%) were males and 63 (12.6%) were females..Males had a slightly higher prevalence than females However, difference was non-Significance (NS) P>0.05. The results showed the highest prevalence (28.57 %)in the group age 6 years , while the lower infection rate was found in the group age 10-12 years (0%), The statistical analysis showed significant differences at the level of 0.05 between the age groups. E. vermicularis is one of the most common intestinal helminthes with nocturnal enuresis among children in Al-Kut city., there are no significant differences (NS) P>0.05 between males and females for Enterobius vermicularis infection and nocturnal enuresis.
