ABSTRACT
Strongyloides stercoralis is an intestinal nematode that infects humans worldwide. Infected patients with severe involvement of cellular immunity may develop a syndrome characterized by the dissemination of larvae throughout the body. Extraintestinal strongyloidiasis has been infrequently reported and despite the prevalence of the helminth in tropical and developing countries there are few cases reported in AIDS patients. Most patients with disseminated strongyloidiasis present with fever, cough, diarrhea and shortness of breath. Chest radiographs usually show diffuse infiltrates. The diagnosis has been made by finding the helminth in respiratory secretions or stool. Enteric organisms like Escherichia coli can often be isolated in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid. We report two cases of disseminated strongyloidiasis in AIDS patients, in which stercoralis larvae were detected in sputum and stool samples.
