摘要：

A series of children's deaths at a Cambodian refugee camp in Thailand prompted an investigation of children suffering from bloody diarrhoea and severe abdominal pain. Microscopical stool and blood examinations of 15 cases aged 1-7 years revealed hyperinfective strongyloidiasis as the cause of illness. Nine of 14 cases were infected with Strongyloides stercoralis, and 6 (42%) had concurrent infection with hookworm. Examination of 958 outpatients at the camp's daily clinic showed that mixed infections of S. stercoralis and hookworm were present in only 4.8% of the outpatients of the same age group.
