RESUMO
Objetivando observar a associação entre enterobiose e enurese noturna, foi feito um estudo com 86 crianças de ambos os sexos moradoras em um orfanato de Natal, RN, com idades variando entre 4 e 12 anos. Para o diagnóstico da infecção, utilizou-se o método de Graham, sendo a enurese registrada pelo pessoal do orfanato em fichas apropriadas. O tratamento anti-helmíntico foi feito com o mebendazol. As crianças examinadas (somente aquelas com Enterobius ou com Enterobius mais enurese) mostraram uma elevada frequência da infecção (72,1por cento igual 62/86). Após o tratamento anti-helmíntico específico, exibiram redução significativa tanto da infecção quanto da enurese (p menor que 0,05). O presente trabalho confirma as observações de vários pesquisadores para os quais a infecção por E. vermicularis pode ter alguma participação na enurese noturna em crianças.
ABSTRACT
In order to observe the association of enterobiasis and nocturnal enuresis, a study with 86 children of both sexes, from an orphanage of Natal-RN, with ages varying between four and 12 years was conducted. For the diagnosis of infection, the Graham method was used; enuresis was recorded by the staff of the orphanage in standardized forms. The antihelminthic treatment was done with mebendazole, 100mg per os, twice a day, for three days. The children examined – with Enterobius only and with Enterobius + enuresis – showed a high frequency of infection (72.1%= 62/86) that, after the specific treatment, exhibited significant reduction (p <0.05) of both infection and enuresis. This investigation confirms the observations of several researchers who argue that the E. vermicularis infection may have some participation in nocturnal enuresis in children.
