We report the case of a Gabonese HIV-patient who presented with haemoptysis, weight loss, fulminant diarrhoea and subsequent ileus and elevated CD4 T-cell counts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abdominal symptoms may occur after the parasite matures to adults resembling peptic ulcer, weight loss, vomiting and diarrhea. Hives-like rashes may be seen in the area of the buttocks and around the trunk. [outbreaknewstoday.com]

Further parasitological studies performed after the start of the treatment with ivermectin on fresh fecal samples, gastric lavages and tracheal aspirates showed scanty mobile filariform and rabditoid larvae of the same parasite. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient was successfully treated with vancomycin; although fever and productive cough persisted. Severe gastrointestinal symptoms and pneumonia developed three weeks later. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hemoptysis increased and mechanical ventilation was started when confusion, hypercapnia, and hypoxemia developed. Six hours later, the patient died. [archbronconeumol.org]

Clinicians must consider invasive strongyloidiasis in patients with chronic diarrhea and peripheral eosinophilia, especially in people who have lived in or traveled to endemic areas. [doi.org]

In addition, peripheral eosinophilia, chronic diarrhea, malabsortion syndrome, and chronic anemia are unspecific indications of S. stercoralis infection and should alert clinicians. [archcid.com]

Chronic diarrhea can be a symptom. In severe cases, edema may result in obstruction of the intestinal tract, as well as loss of peristaltic contractions. Strongyloidiasis in immunocompetent individuals is usually an indolent disease. [monsterologist.blogspot.com]

After 10 weeks, he developed abdominal distension, leucocytosis, thrombocytopenia, liver dysfunction, coagulopathy, and respiratory failure. Stool examination showed larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

He had a medical history including aortic valve replacement, diabetes mellitus, spinal stenosis, and low back pain treated with repeated local steroid injections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although symptoms can include pruritus, cough, dyspnea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain [ 2 ], patients can also remain asymptomatic. [doi.org]
