Abstract

Parasitic infection still surprises us with amazing case presentation every ‎now and then. Intestinal nematode infection is a worldwide health problem ‎especially in humid and hot areas. Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) ‎is a common soil- transmitted nematode infection in tropics and subtropics. ‎Its severity ranges from asymptomatic infection in immunocompetent ‎patients to hyperinfection and even disseminated infection in ‎immunocompromised patients. Here, we report a case of severe protein ‎losing enteropathy caused by S. stercoralis‎‎‎‎‎‎.
