Disseminated Strongyloides Stercoralis Hyperinfection in An Immunocompetent Patient First Diagnosed by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Cerebrospinal Fluid: A Case Report

2021-10-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Disseminated Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection is rarely described in immunocompetent individuals and can lead to fatal outcomes if not recognized and diagnosed early. Non-specific clinical manifestations, such as pneumonia and gastroenteritis, pose a diagnostic dilemma. Case presentation: We report a case of a 67-year-old Chinese male who presented with two months of abdominal pain,...
