Systemic Strongyloidiasis- Is It Section Dissemination or Hyperinfection?
An intestinal nematode, with clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic state to catastrophic outcomes, Strongyloides stercoralis can be a potential cause of mortality, especially in patients with immunosuppressed state.

| description | An intestinal nematode, with clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic state to catastrophic outcomes, Strongyloides stercoralis can be a potential cause of mortality, especially in patients with immunosuppressed state. Here, we present a patient with relatively short duration of immunosuppression, developing systemic strongyloidiasis and eventually succumbed after a brief duration of ailment. The index case satisfied the description of a case of hyperinfection. However, there existed a challenge in ruling out dissemination in her since she could not be evaluated completely due to a fulminant course. |
