Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic nematode infection mainly caused by Strongyloides stercoralis. Immunocompromised conditions, particularly cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and corticosteroids, have a significant risk of developing Strongyloides hyperinfection. The lack of a gold standard laboratory method to rule out this infection and the insensitivity of microscopic stool examination due to low and intermittent larvae output in stool contribute to the low detection rate of this infection.

Introduction: is a soil-transmitted helminth that can lead to life-threatening hyperinfection in transplant recipients. Targeted screening based on social history alone may preclude a large proportion of seropositive patients. Our institution implemented universal screening for kidney transplant candidates.

Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome (SHS) is a severe manifestation of the Strongyloides parasite, often occurring in immunocompromised patients due to the inability to subdue larvae autoinfection. As the parasitic burden increases, the patient can develop worsening respiratory symptoms that mimic common pathologies such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The parasite is endemic to the Appalachian region as well as subtropical and tropical areas worldwide.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the genetic diversity of a neglected tropical disease in patients from three endemic provinces in Iran, using DNA sequencing of the 1 gene.
- It involved isolating samples from patients, recording their clinical symptoms, and performing genetic analysis to classify the isolates into different haplotypes.
- Findings revealed four haplotypes with one new type identified, showing no significant genetic differences in most cases, though a unique isolate was linked to a severe case of hyper-infection strongyloidiasis.
