Strongyloides stercolarisis an endemic nematode in tropical and subtropical climates. Infection is predominantly manifested by gastrointestinal symptoms, and in cases of hyper-infestation causes a disseminated strongyloidiasis with a systemic bacterial over infection causing multiple organ dysfunctions with fatal outcome. The most important risk factors for intestinal infection to acquire gravity features include immunosuppression and HTVL-1 infection. The case presented corresponds to S. stercoralis hyperinfection syndrome in a patient with HTVL-1 infection.
