Article Synopsis
- Two cases of Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection were reported in expatriates from the Indian subcontinent who had used corticosteroids.
- The first patient experienced severe respiratory issues and intestinal complications, ultimately leading to death, while the second improved with treatment but later died from an underlying condition.
- The authors emphasize the need for heightened awareness and screening for this infection in patients from endemic regions who are undergoing immunosuppressive therapy due to the high mortality associated with the disease.
