Short report: gastric infection by Strongyloides stercoralis.
暂无分享,去创建一个
Strongyloides stercoralis ordinarily matures in the human proximal small intestine and embeds in the small intestine mucosal wall where eggs are produced. Although Strongyloides may infect many sites in hyperinfection syndromes, reports of gastric involvement are rare. We report a patient taking prednisone and an H2 blocker who developed hyperinfection syndrome, with mucosal Strongyloides larvae seen in a gastric biopsy.
