Enterobiasis is a condition in which our whole digestive system is affected. People can't sleep due to itching in those parts which helps in excreting waste from our body and some people started vomiting also. It also affects our stomach badly.

Complete answer:
Enterobiasis is mainly characterized by the itching in the anal area. Enterobiasis is an infection caused by pinworm. Pinworm is a human parasite. Other symptoms of Enterobiasis include pain in the abdomen, loose motions and also itching around the genitals.

Additional Information: The disease is spread among people by eggs of pinworm. The eggs in starting, occur or are present around the anus and may survive for up to 3 weeks within the environment. The eggs may enter the body due to the consumption of contaminated food, or hand. Those individuals have risk who attend school, sleep in a health care institution or prison, or take care of infected individuals. Other animals don't spread the disease. Diagnosis is done by seeing the worms which are about one centimeter long or the eggs under a microscope. The prevention method is keeping fingernails short, and washing and scrubbing hands and fingers carefully, especially after defecation and before meals. The most common parasitic worm infection that occurs in the United States is known as Pinworm infection that also occurs all across the world.

Note: One can diagnose it even without using a microscope. The adult pinworms are light-yellowish thread-like structures. These can be clearly visually detectable, usually during the night when they move near the anus, or on toilet paper.
