ABSTRACT
We report a case of Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection syndrome in a renal transplant recipient complicated by septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and Klebsiella pneumoniae superinfection. The patient was treated successfully with drotrecogin alfa (activated), parenteral ivermectin, albendazole, and piperacillin/tazobactam. This outcome suggests that drotrecogin alfa (activated) may be useful therapy for transplant recipients who develop severe sepsis or septic shock secondary to potentially lethal opportunistic infections.
