An infection that is caused by nematodes of the genus Strongyloides, most commonly Strongyloides stercoralis, which is a soil-transmitted helminth, and which is characterized by a variety of gastrointestinal, dermatologic, and, occasionally, pulmonary manifestations. The worm's autoinfective life cycle can lead to hyper-infection and life-threatening dissemination in immunocompromised hosts decades after initial infection.

Infection with nematodes of the genus STRONGYLOIDES. The presence of larvae may produce pneumonitis and the presence of adult worms in the intestine could lead to moderate to severe diarrhea.

Infections with nematodes of the order Strongylida; includes Oesophagostomiasis, hook worm infection, trichostrongyloidiasis and equine strongylosis.

Strongyloidiasis is infection with Strongyloides stercoralis. Findings include abdominal pain and diarrhea, rash, pulmonary symptoms (including cough and wheezing), and eosinophilia. Diagnosis is by finding larvae in stool or small-bowel contents or occasionally in sputum or by detection of antibodies in blood. Treatment is with...

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.

Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic disease caused by the roundworm Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis). People catch the infection when they come in contact with soil contaminated with the worms. While there are often no symptoms, abdominal pain, cough, diarrhea, rash, unintentional weight loss and vomiting may occur. The infection...

Strongyloidiasis is an infection caused by the intestinal nematode Strongyloides stercoralis . The primary mode of infection is through larvae penetrating the skin. Strongyloides larvae migrate from subcutaneous tissues into the venous circulation, then to the lungs. Larvae migrate up the airways, are swallowed, and establish chronic...
