The prevalence rate of Enterobius vermicularis eggs was investigated among preschool children located in the area of Iksan, Jeonbuk, during the period from March to July, 2005. Of the 1,082 children examined 78(7.2%) were found to be positive for E. vermicularis egg by the adhesive cellotape anal swab method. The egg positive rate of male and female were 6.7% and 7.8%, respectively. The positive rates range from 5.1% to 8.7% among preschool children, and the highest egg positive rate was observed in the 7 year old age group. Through this survey, it was determined that the E. vermicularis infection is still prevalent among children in Jeonbuk, Korea.
