Complicated strongyloidiasis should be suspected in immunocompromised hosts who present with abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea, particularly in endemic areas. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All patients presented with gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and paralytic ileus), as well as pulmonary symptoms (cough, dyspnea and blood-stained sputum). Albendazole 800 mg twice daily orally was started. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Severe infection of the intestine is debilitating and causes vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. This is often associated with the autoinfective cycle. [histopathology-india.net]

Some people develop abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn, intermittent episodes of diarrhea and constipation, a dry cough, and skin rashes. Rarely people will develop arthritis, kidney problems, and heart conditions. [cdc.gov]

Profuse watery diarrhoea, sometimes alternating with constipation. Malabsorption. Weight loss. Pulmonary involvement (including Löffler's disease) can occur during pulmonary migration of the filariform larvae: Cough. Bronchospasm. Haemoptysis. [patient.info]

Periodically they may experience vague abdominal discomfort, intermittent diarrhoea and constipation, and recurrent rashes. Recurrent rashes are known as larva currens or creeping infection. [dermnetnz.org]

The hyponatremia gradually improved initially, but the appetite loss, nausea, and hyponatremia continued. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastrointestinal symptoms may include diarrhoea, abdominal pain and occasionally nausea and vomiting. Patients may also have a low-grade fever, coughing and wheezing, due to the migration of larvae through the lungs. [dermnetnz.org]

Our patient complained of epigastric pain associated with nausea, vomiting and general weakness. [doi.org]

Invading larvae cause transient dermatitis. Larvae migrating through the lungs may provoke cough, hemoptysis, and dyspnea, but most infections do not lead to pulmonary symptoms. [histopathology-india.net]

Can cause dermatitis and balanoposthitis due to percutaneous entry, or diarrhea when the intestinal infection is very heavy. In kangaroos it is a stomach parasite causing gastritis. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Delusional parasitosis is sometimes difficult for doctors to diagnose because many actual skin disorders, such as allergies, dermatitis, or real parasites, also cause the itching sensations. [merckmanuals.com]

Symptoms Strongyloidiasis may cause intermittent symptoms that mostly affect the intestine (abdominal pain and intermittent or persistent diarrhoea), the lungs (cough, wheezing, chronic bronchitis) or skin (pruritus, urticaria). [who.int]

The symptoms can include diarrhea, enteropathy with malabsorption, skin rashes, such as larva currens, or urticaria. In the context of pulmonary disease, hypereosinophilia is common. Finally there can be massive strongyloidiasis with dissemination. [coursera.org]

The rash, likely an allergic response to the migrating filariform larvae, often manifests as a pruritic wheal or linear urticaria. [emedicine.medscape.com]
