Co-infection with Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection syndrome and Klebsiella in a nephrotic syndrome patient: A case report.
Abstract
Patients with chronic Strongyloides stercoralis infection are usually asymptomatic; therefore, their condition is easily overlooked. In immunosuppressed patients, mortality is high because of disseminated infection and hyperinfection. This report describes a fatal S stercoralis hyperinfection in a patient with nephrotic syndrome after treatment with steroids.
