Specimens are sent for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based species identification.  Amplification of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene was performed by PCR as described [1].


 Morphological features and PCR amplification of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene confirmed Rhabditis axei and Enterobius vermicularis as the pathogen of infection.
