This case study presents a 4-year-old male presenting with anal pruritus. The review of systems reveals no significant acute health issues, and his developmental history indicates he is on par for his age. Past medical history includes a parasitic infection at age 3. Physical examination is largely unremarkable apart from a hyperemic anal region. Management includes a scotch tape swab to confirm Enterobius vermicularis, dietary recommendations, dental referrals, and immunization updates. Follow-up scheduled to monitor treatment efficacy.
