Strongyloides stercoralis disseminated infection in an HIV-infected adult.

In this visual case of Strongyloides stercoralis disseminated infection with Enterobacteriaceae-related invasive infection, we demonstrated the in-host S. stercoralis circulation with DNA found in different fluids and specimens, but also in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), supporting the role of migrant l...

Summary:In this visual case of Strongyloides stercoralis disseminated infection with Enterobacteriaceae-related invasive infection, we demonstrated the in-host S. stercoralis circulation with DNA found in different fluids and specimens, but also in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), supporting the role of migrant larvae in the Enterobacteriaceae-related invasive and central nervous system infection.
