摘要
Four patients are described with a Strongyloides stercoralis infection. Several techniques to diagnose this infection are discussed. The so-called Baermann method is emphasised. Especially in chronic infections the combination of serology and the Baermann method seems the best diagnostic approach. Treatment with albendazole or ivermectin are suggested treatments.
