Strongyloidiasis is an infection caused by Strongyloides stercoralis (and rarely S. fülleborni), a helminth present mainly in tropical and subtropical regions but also in temperate climates. [who.int]

The present study showed that most patients with Strongyloides infection to be male. [tropicalgastro.com]

A predisposing factor was present in all patients in the form of corticosteroid intake, chronic liver disease and panhypogammaglobulinaemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Recurrent Bacterial Infection

  The symptoms include: abdominal swelling and pain shock pulmonary and neurological complications recurrent bacterial infection of the blood With proper medical treatment, the prognosis for strongyloidiasis is very good. [healthline.com]

Occasionally, the treatment will need to be repeated. However, severe or widespread infections in people with a weakened immune system are very serious. [healthline.com]

Strongyloides-specific IgG serology decreases with effective treatment and is useful in monitoring eradication.29–32 Treatment The goal of therapy is eradication of all S. stercoralis parasites. [racgp.org.au]

Because the auto-infective larvae are difficult to eradicate, one regimen dose may be in-sufficient and re-treatment of patients on two occasions, at 1 and 2 months after the initial treatment dose was recommended. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Follow up Serology is currently the best measure of treatment efficacy available as there is a decline in antibody titre after treatment. [refugeehealthguide.org.au]

Etiology The female nematodes, which measure 2.5 mm in length, live in the small intestine of humans. Eggs laid in the small intestine hatch to release larvae that are normally excreted in the faeces. [orpha.net]

The initial step in the evaluation of the patient with hypoproteinemia is to exclude other more common etiologies such as malnutrition, liver, and renal diseases. [jdeonline.in]

Medicines to prevent vomiting or diarrhoea should not be given, especially to children, except when prescribed by a doctor. Prevention Good hygiene and sanitation is the best way to prevent Strongyloidiasis. [nt.gov.au]

It is a condition that is preventable and treatable if diagnosed early. GPs must be vigilant to ensure that cases are detected and the risks of fatal, disseminated disease reduced. [racgp.org.au]
