A 7-year-old girl is brought to the pediatrician’s office by her father. She has been experiencing nighttime itching around her bottom and has mentioned to her father that she has seen small white strands moving in her stool. She is not constipated and is generally healthy. No one else in the household has reported similar symptoms. The girl lives with her father and her two-year-old brother.
