| description | Strongyloides stercoralis is a nematode that is characterized by causing a usually asymptomatic intestinal infection in immunocompetent individuals. However, in patients living with HIV and depending on their immune status, it can generate a hyperinfection syndrome with various complications due to dissemination to different organs.
We present the case of a 30-year-old patient with a de novo diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus infection and lymphoproliferative disease. Within the laboratory workup, the presence of Strongyloides stercoralis was documented in the bone marrow. Despite having a CD4+ T lymphocyte count greater than 400 cells/microliter and having started treatment for this condition with ivermectin, the patient died due to a septic state associated with hyperinfection syndrome, which is why this is considered an unusual case that alerts the clinician to take into account the presence of the nematode in patients living with HIV. |
