Abstract
- We report a case of Strongyloides stercoralis infection in a 85-year-old male patient who had complained of poor oral intake, diarrhea, and upper abdominal pain for 6 months. At admission, he showed severe eosinophilia in peripheral blood. Rhabditiform larvae were detected in the stool examination on the 15th admission day and developed into filariform larvae with a notched tail after stool culture by the Harada-Mori method. The patient received albendazole therapy for 7 days but no improvement were observed and he fell into pulmonary edema and coma.
