Systemic strongyloidiasis is a rare but serious complication of intestinal strongyloidiasis. The condition occurs mainly in immunosuppressed patients and has a significant mortality rate. A case of systemic strongyloidiasis is described in a patient who received systemic steroid treatment, and a short review of the literature is given. The increased use of immunosuppressive and cytotoxic treatment necessitates increased awareness of this infection. HIV-infection, however, does not appear to increase the risk of developing systemic strongyloidiasis. Patients from endemic areas and travellers to such areas, even in the remote past, should be examined for strongyloidiasis before being given immunosuppressive treatment. Awareness of the possibility of systemic strongyloidiasis is essential if such a patient develops gastrointestinal or pulmonary symptoms or has repeated episodes of unexplained gram-negative infections while undergoing immunosuppressive treatment.

Abstract Strongyloides hyperinfection and dissemination are recognized complications in kidney allograft recipients; however, the development of strongyloidiasis in renal transplant recipients receiving cyclosporine A (CyA) has not been described, nor has the development of strongyloidiasis in other organ transplant recipients. The former observation has been attributed to the antiparasitic activity of CyA seen in animal studies; the latter has no explanation yet. We report the first case of Strongyloides hyperinfection in a renal transplant patient occurring immediately after CyA was discontinued. From the unique characteristics of this case, it appears that the anti-Strongyloides activity of CyA in animals may also be found in humans.

Strongyloidiasis is a human parasitic disease caused by the nematode called Strongyloides stercoralis, or sometimes S. fülleborni which is a type of helminth. It belongs to a group of nematodes called roundworms. This intestinal worm can cause a number of symptoms in people, principally skin symptoms, abdominal pain, diarrhea and weight loss. In some people, particularly those who require corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medication, Strongyloides can cause a hyperinfection syndrome that can lead to death if untreated. The diagnosis is made by blood and stool tests. The medication ivermectin is widely used to treat strongyloidiasis. Strongyloidiasis is a type of soil-transmitted helminthiasis. It is thought to affect 30-100 million people worldwide, mainly in tropical and subtropical countries.[citation needed] It belongs to the group of neglected tropical diseases, and worldwide efforts are aimed at eradicating the infection. Strongyloides infection occurs in five forms. On acquiring ...

Strongyloidiasis is a disease caused by an infection with a soil-transmitted helminth that affects, according to largely varying estimates, between 30 million and 370 million people worldwide [1,2]. Not officially listed as a neglected tropical disease (NTD), strongyloidiasis stands out as particularly overlooked [3]. Indeed, there is a paucity of research and public health efforts pertaining to strongyloidiasis. Hence, clinical, diagnostic, epidemiologic, treatment, and control aspects are not adequately addressed to allow for an effective management of the disease, both in clinical medicine and in public health programs [4]. The manifold signs and symptoms caused by Strongyloides stercoralis infection, coupled with the helminths unique potential to cause lifelong, persistent infection, make strongyloidiasis relevant beyond tropical and subtropical geographic regions, where, however, most of the disease burden is concentrated. Indeed, strongyloidiasis is acquired through contact with ...

Abstract. We describe a case of persistent strongyloidiasis complicated by recurrent meningitis, in a human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) seropositive Peruvian migrant adult resettled in Italy. He was admitted with signs and symptoms of acute bacterial meningitis, reporting four other meningitis episodes in the past 6 years, with an etiological diagnosis of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecium in two cases. He had been previously treated with several antihelmintic regimens not including ivermectin, without eradication of strongyloidiasis, and he had never been tested for HTLV before. During the described episode, the patient was treated for meningitis with broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and 200 μg/kg/dose oral ivermectin once daily on day 1, 2, 15 and 16 with full recovery and no further episodes of meningitis. The presented case underlines several critical points concerning the management of poorly known neglected diseases such as strongyloidiasis and HTLV infection in low-endemic

Background: Strongyloidiasis infects hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is an important cause of mortality from intestinal helminth infection in developed countries. The persistence of infection, increasing international travel, lack of familiarity by health care providers, and potential for iatrogenic hyperinfection all make strongyloidiasis an important emerging infection. Methods: Two studies were performed. A retrospective chart review of Strongyloides stercoralis cases identified through microbiology laboratory records from 1993-2002 was conducted. Subsequently, 363 resident physicians in 15 training programs worldwide were queried with a case scenario of strongyloidiasis, presenting an immigrant with wheezing and eosinophilia. The evaluation focused on resident recognition and diagnostic recommendations. Results: In 151 strongyloidiasis cases, stool ova and parasite sensitivity is poor (51%), and eosinophilia (,5% or ,400 cells/μL) commonly present (84%). Diagnosis averaged 56 ...

Strongyloidiasis is an underestimated disease caused by the soil-transmitted parasite of the genus Strongyloides. It is prevalent in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities and it is estimated that global infection could be as high as 370 million people. This paper explores current methods of strongyloidiasis treatment, which rely on administration of anthelminthic drugs. However these drugs cannot prevent reinfection and drug resistance has already been observed in veterinary models. This highlights the need for a combined approach for controlling Strongyloides that includes both clinical treatment and environmental control methods. Currently, nematicides are widely used to control plant parasites. The review suggests that due to the species similarity and similar modes of action, these nematicides could also be used to control animal and human parasitic nematodes in the environment.

Strongyloidiasis is an intestinal infection caused by 2 species of the parasitic nematode Strongyloides. The most common and clinically important pathogenic species in humans is S stercoralis (see the following image).

OpenStax Microbiology. Strongyloidiasis is generally caused by Strongyloides stercoralis, a soil-transmitted helminth with both free-living and parasitic forms. In the parasitic form, the larvae of these nematodes generally penetrate the body through the skin, especially through bare feet, although transmission through organ transplantation or at facilities like day-care centers can also occur. When excreted in the stool, larvae can become free-living adults rather than developing into the parasitic form. These free-living worms reproduce, laying eggs that hatch into larvae that can develop into the parasitic form. In the parasitic life cycle, infective larvae enter the skin, generally through the feet. The larvae reach the circulatory system, which allows them to travel to the alveolar spaces of the lungs. They are transported to the pharynx where, like many other helminths, the infected patient coughs them up and swallows them again so that they return to the intestine. Once they reach the ...

Strongyloidiasis stercoralis is a cosmopolitan nematode commonly known as human threadworm. Chronic infection is often asymptomatic and may persist for years or even decades due to the ability of the worm for autoinfection. In an immunocompromised host, the organism multiplies, leading to overwhelming parasitic load (hyperinfection). The treatment of choice in the hyperinfection state is thiabendazole 25 mg/kg twice a day for 7-10 days.1. Strongyloidiasis stercoralis should be considered if at risk patients are commenced on immunosuppressive treatment and fail to improve or deteriorate. The role of duodenal biopsy in the diagnosis of this disease is not well established but it proved to be of great value in our case.. ...

Your veterinarian will want to schedule monthly fecal examinations monthly for the first six months after treatment to assure clearance of infection. During this time, your dog will intermittently shed parasitic larvae and require regular deworming sessions. He or she will also recommend a thorough cleaning of your pets area and/or kennel to eradicate any potential larvae. You should, however, take precaution when handling the dog or items used by the animal, as humans can sometimes become infected with S. stercoralis., causing rashes, severe abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea.. ...

Neglected diseases are a group of chronic disabling infections affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide, mainly in Africa and mostly those living in remote rural areas, urban slums or conflict zones. Beyond their negative impact on health, neglected diseases contribute to an ongoing cycle of poverty and stigma that leaves people unable to work, go to school or participate in family and community life. Severe Dengue, Chagas disease, Leishmaniasis, Schistosomiasis, Strongyloidiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis are some of the neglected diseases with high priority for the control programmes. The control of these infections represents a largely untapped development opportunity to alleviate poverty in the worlds poorest populations. With the goal of allowing the easy management of these diseases within the primary health-care system and ultimately eliminated as a public health problem, the focus of this Research Topic is the introduction of innovative tools that can promote a sensitive diagnosis

This study prospectively assessed the occurrence of clinical and subclinical schistosomiasis, strongyloidiasis, filariasis, and toxocariasis, and the screening value of eosinophilia in adult short-term travelers to helminth-endemic countries. Visitors of a pre-travel health advice centre donated blood samples for serology and blood cell count before and after travel. Samples were tested for eosinophilia, and for antibodies against schistosomiasis, strongyloidiasis, filariasis, and toxocariasis. Previous infection was defined as seropositivity in pre- and post-travel samples. Recent infection was defined as a seroconversion. Symptoms of parasitic disease were recorded in a structured diary. Previous infection was found in 112 of 1207 subjects: schistosomiasis in 2.7%, strongyloidiasis in 2.4%, filariasis in 3.4%, and toxocariasis in 1.8%. Recent schistosomiasis was found in 0.51% of susceptible subjects at risk, strongyloidiasis in 0.25%, filariasis in 0.09%, and toxocariasis in 0.08%. The incidence rate

Strongyloidiasis is a soil-borne helminthiasis, which, in spite of the up to 370 million people currently estimated to be infected with its causing agent, the nematode Strongyloides stercoralis, is frequently overlooked. Recent molecular taxonomic studies conducted in Southeast Asia and Australia, showed that dogs can carry the same genotypes of S. stercoralis that also infect humans, in addition to a presumably dog-specific Strongyloides species. This suggests a potential for zoonotic transmission of S. stercoralis from dogs to humans. Although natural S. stercoralis infections have not been reported in any host other than humans, non-human primates and dogs, other as yet unidentified animal reservoirs cannot be excluded. Molecular studies also showed that humans carry rather different genotypes of S. stercoralis. As a result, their taxonomic status and the question of whether they differ in their pathogenic potential remains open. It would therefore be very important to obtain molecular genetic

Strongyloides stercoralis infections have a worldwide distribution with a global burden in terms of prevalence and morbidity that is largely ignored. A public health response against soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections should broaden the strategy to include S. stercoralis and overcome the epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic challenges that this parasite poses in comparison to Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms. The relatively poor sensitivity of single stool evaluations, which is further lowered when quantitative techniques aimed at detecting eggs are used, also complicates morbidity evaluations and adequate drug efficacy measurements, since S. stercoralis is eliminated in stools in a larval stage. Specific stool techniques for the detection of larvae of S. stercoralis, like Baermanns and Kogas agar plate, despite superiority over direct techniques are still suboptimal. New serologies using recombinant antigens and molecular-based techniques offer new hopes in

Strongyloidiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases [2]. The highest prevalences are found in poor countries with a tropical climate, conditions favorable for transmission of the parasite [16]. Furthermore, low socioeconomic status and low-hygiene living conditions of the rural population are strongly associated with S. stercoralis infections. In Southeast Asia, a recent work in Cambodia reported a very high infection rate of 21% in Takeo Province [15]. In Lao PDR, there have been few studies on S. stercoralis infection, and data usually come from studies on other soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and/or food-borne trematodes [14]. One of such studies has reported a 10.3% prevalence of S. stercoralis infection, but the diagnostic method is low in sensitivity, which was mostly formalin-ethyl acetate concentration method. To our knowledge, this is the first community-based report from this region. Recent surveys on S. stercoralis infection in southern Lao PDR reported a prevalence of 41% on ...

Donor-derived Strongyloides stercoralis infections in transplant recipients are a rare but recognized complication. In this case series, we report donor-derived allograft transmission of Strongyloides in three solid organ transplant recipients. Following detection of infection in heart and kidney-pancreas recipients at two different transplant centers, a third recipient from the same donor was identified and diagnosed. S. stercoralis larvae were detected in duodenal aspirates, bronchial washings, cerebrospinal fluid, urine and stool specimens. Treatment with ivermectin and albendazole was successful in two of the three patients identified. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was contacted and performed an epidemiologic investigation. Donor serology was strongly positive for S. stercoralis antibodies on retrospective testing while all pretransplant recipient serum was negative. There should be a high index of suspicion for parasitic infection in transplant recipients and donors from ...

The objective was to evaluate the implementation of a systematic Strongyloides stercoralis screening programme in HIV infected immigrants attending an HIV Unit in Spain. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to assess the presence of Strongyloides IgG. Patients with a positive serology were treated with ivermectin; serologic follow-up testing was performed. 237 patients were screened (65.4 % men). Origin: 64.1 % came from Latin America, 16.5 % from Sub-Saharan Africa, 9.7 % from the Caribbean, 9.7 % from other areas. Strongyloides stercolaris IgG was positive in 13 cases (5.5 %). In the multivariate analysis, factors associated with a positive Strongyloides serology were illiteracy (OR: 23.31; ,I,p,/I, = 0.009) and eosinophilia (OR: 15.44; ,I,p,/I, , 0.0001). Nine of the 13 patients positive for S. stercoralis IgG and treated with ivermectin had a follow up serologic test: 77.8 % achieved a serologic response (55.5 % seroreversion). Screening of HIV-positive immigrants may ...

The parasite then gets in the bloodstream and is carried to the lungs. They are carried up to the throat where they are swallowed and end up in the small intestine where they develop into adults.. If symptoms are present, you may see dermatitis of the skin at the point of entry, a cough and occasionally pneumonitis as the larvae pass through the lungs. 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..

As of the mid 1990s, over 300 cases of disseminated strongyloidiasis had been reported in the United States, the majority of which were attributed to corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive agents.2 It is postulated that corticosteroids enhance the normal life cycle of Strongyloides stercoralis, enabling an asymptomatic infection to progress unchecked through internal autoinfection. Doses of prednisone as low as 20 milligrams daily for a period of five weeks may be sufficient to cause hyperinfection.3 Steroids also tend to mask eosinophilia, making the diagnosis difficult.. Patients with uncomplicated infections may experience a mild pneumonitis during the pulmonary migration phase of the life cycle, usually with occasional cough and wheezing as the only clinical symptoms. The filariform larvae cause alveolar hemorrhage, edema, and an inflammatory reaction within the lung parenchyma, often seen as interstitial infiltrates on chest x-ray.5,2 As the larvae have the ability to mature in the ...

My major area of research centers on the control of autoinfection in infections with the nematode Strongyloides stercoralis, a parasite of dogs and man. To this end, in collaboration with Dr. Gerry Schad, we have developed the gerbil as a model for this infection. The gerbil is the only rodent in which all aspects of the parasites life cycle, including autoinfection, have been shown to take place. In the gerbil model we have shown that autoinfection will take place under certain immunosuppressive conditions (inhibitors of T-cell IL 2 regulation, i.e. treatment with tacrolimus, or general immunosuppression, i.e. steroid treatment). Autoinfection has also been observed in immunologically naive gerbils (i.e., neonatally infected gerbils or gerbils infected per os with adult worms). Th 1 inducing infections (i.e. Toxoplasma gondii) and a large initial infection can also induce subsequent autoinfection. We are currently looking at the role of the amphidial neurons in developmental decisions made by ...

These slender cylindrical worms have a long oesophagus and uterus intertwined, giving the appearance of a twisted thread, hence their common name of thread-worms. They are unique amongst nematodes, being capable of both parasitic and free-living reproductive cycles. Only parthenogenetic female worms are parasitic, living in the small intestinal mucosa of various mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Transmission involves a geo-helminth phase, where rhabditiform larvae in the soil form infective filariform larvae which penetrate the skin of their hosts. Sometimes, however, larvae develop into male and female worms which undergo one or more free-living cycles in the soil before producing infective larvae again.Strongyloides stercoralis [this species causes enteritis, Cochin diarrhoea, larval currens in humans]Parasite morphology: The parasite has an unusual developmental cycle involving the formation of eggs, free-living and parasitic larvae, free-living male and female adult worms, as well ...

RESUMO. Com a finalidade de demarcar mais precisamente o espectro de ação do albendazol, foi estudada a atividade terapêutica desse anti-helmíntico em ratos experimentalmente infectados com Strongyloides venezuelensis, tendo sido usada, como termo de comparação, a ação do cambendazol e do mebendazol, dois outros benzimidazólicos.
