Article Abstract
A case of disseminated strongyloidiasis in an Indian diabetic patient who was not receiving any immunosuppressive therapy, is reported. Strongyloides stercoralis was detected in peritoneal fluid, stools and blood. To our knowledge this represents the first such case to be reported in the English literature. The need for both clinicians and microbiology laboratories to be on the alert for this parasite in patients who are compromised either because of underlying disease or therapy with immunosuppressive drugs, is emphasised.
