Abstract: In order to understand pinworm infection of kindergarten children in Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, a total of 1 088 children were sampled for the survey from September 2011 to October 2012. The cellophane tape swab technique was used to examine pinworm eggs. The infection rate of pinworm was 1.1% （12/1 088）. The rate in boys and grils was 1.3% （7/551） and 0.9% （5/537）, respectively. Higher infection rate was in the senior class （1.4%，5/370）, and no significant difference was found with gender, as well as among different classes （P＞0.05）. Evidently, pinworm prevalence is at a low level in the kindergarten children of Jurong.
