[Disseminated strongyloidiasis associated with pulmonary fibrosis and gastrointestinal bleeding].

Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic disease that can be lethal in immunosuppressed patients especially if lung fibrosis is associated, which has been rarely reported. We report the case of a patient treated with corticosteroids for pulmonary fibrosis who developed disseminated strongyloidiasis revealed by massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Diagnosis was based on histological analysis of gastrointestinal biopsies and broncho-alveolar lavage.
