摘要
Two fatal strongyloides stercoralis infections found at autopsy in patients who had received corticosteroid therapy are presented. A successfully treated case of strongyloidiasis with pulmonary infiltration is also reported. Difficulties in diagnosis, usefulness of upper jejunal intubation, and the importance of ruling out strongyloidiasis prior to administration of corticosteroids to patients with eosinophilia, particularly Vietnam veterans, are discussed. © 1969 Hoeber Medical Division • Harper & Row.
