Disseminated Strongyloides stercoralis in an immunosuppressed host

S L Bradley et al. Mayo Clin Proc. 1978 May.

Abstract

It is important that clinicians be aware that Strongyloides stercoralis can disseminate, because the helminth can exist as an asymptomatic infestation for years in a person from an endemic area and then become manifest when immunosuppressive therapy is given. A case of fatal strongyloidiasis is presented to emphasize this potential for causing serious infection in the compromised host.
