Can appendicitis cause pinworms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Pin worms are an only human parasite common to toddlers/kids that passes from casual contact. They live in a hosts large intestine. The female lays eggs around the anus & these eggs shed trough clothing & bed linen. People acquire them when their contaminated fingers pass eggs to their mouth. They are rare in older adults unless a kid is in their contact environment.
