Infection with the nematode Strongyloides stercoralis, which parasitizes the gastrointestinal system and is found chiefly in tropical and subtropical regions.
[New Latin Strongyloidēs, genus name (from New Latin Strongylus, strongyle nematode genus; see strongyle + Greek -oeidēs, -oid) + -iasis.]
Serodiagnostic test results were negative for cystic and alveolar echinococcoses and strongyloidiasis, and schistosomiasis screening test results were inconclusive: positive by Schistosoma mansoni-specific ELISA (optical density 1.02, threshold 0.53; Bordier Affinity Products, http://www.bordier.ch/) and negative by S.
Similarly, other infectious pathologies, including helminthiasis such as strongyloidiasis and schistosomiasis (both neglected tropical diseases, NTDs), can represent a persistent health problem among people who have migrated from endemic countries [7-9].
The patients were classified into three groups: (a) PJP (19 cases): included patients with PJP and patients with diagnosis of PJP plus another pulmonary infection/disease; (b) patients with CAP (18 cases); and (c) other diagnosis (23 cases of lower respiratory infection: nine cases of tuberculosis, five cases of histoplasmosis, two cases of nocardiosis, one case of cryptococcosis, one case of disseminated strongyloidiasis, one case of pulmonary embolism, and three undiagnosed cases).
