ABSTRACT
Human strongyloidiasis is a potentially life-threatening parasitic disease among immunocompromised hosts. We aim to determine the factors and mortality associated with disseminated strongyloidiasis. We conducted a U.S.-based multicenter retrospective cohort study to determine 90-day clinical outcomes for people diagnosed with Strongyloides infection in the TriNetX patient database. We identified adult patients with the International Classification of Diseases (10th revision, clinical modification) code for Strongyloides infection (B78) or a positive Strongyloides IgG antibody test and captured outcomes at 90 days. We identified 5,434 patients with strongyloidiasis, of whom 48 had disseminated strongyloidiasis for 0.9% prevalence of disseminated disease. Systemic connective tissue disorders, pulmonary eosinophilia, liver cirrhosis, blood disorders (monoclonal gammopathy, aplastic anemia, and lymphoid malignancy), malnutrition, alcohol use disorder, and transplantation status were frequent in patients with disseminated disease. Mortality was significantly higher in people with disseminated disease at 30 days (21%). The 90-day risk of hospitalization, bacteremia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was higher in those with disseminated infection. People with disseminated strongyloidiasis had a heightened risk of hospitalization, bacteremia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and mortality. The population at risk for severe strongyloidiasis infection is evolving, reflecting conditions in which glucocorticoids or additional immunosuppressive medications are commonly used for treatment.
