Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection: an unusual cause of gastrointestinal bleeding

Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection: an unusual cause of gastrointestinal bleeding

SummaryStrongyloidiasis is a parasitic disease that may progress to a disseminated form, called hyperinfection syndrome, in patients with immunosuppression. The hyperinfection syndrome is caused by the wide multiplication and migration of infective larvae, with characteristic gastrointestinal and/or pulmonary involvement. This disease may pose a diagnostic challenge, as it presents with nonspecific findings on endoscopy.
