The genetic diversity of Strongyloides papillosus in Pakistani goats revealed by whole genome sequencing.

Background: Strongyloides nematodes are livestock parasites, and Strongyloides papillosus infecting ruminant livestock can cause disease. Recent genomic analysis of several Strongyloides species is now facilitating population genomic analyses of natural Strongyloides infections, for example finding that Strongyloides ratti in wild UK rats exists as an assemblage of long-lived, asexual lineages.

Methods: Here we have initiated an investigation into the population genomics of S.

Association of infection with the development of diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis.

Previous studies have shown that helminth infection protects against the development of diabetes mellitus (DM), possibly related to the hygiene hypothesis. However, studies involving and its possible association with DM are scarce and have shown contradicting results, prompting us to perform this meta-analysis to obtain more precise estimates. Related studies were searched from PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library until 1 August 2024.

Seroprevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis, human T-lymphotropic virus, and Chagas disease in the Peruvian Amazon: a cross-sectional study.

Strongyloides stercoralis infections, human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infections, and Chagas diseases occur throughout many regions of Central and South America, including Peru. This study aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of S. stercoralis, HTLV, and Chagas disease in Iquitos (Peruvian Amazon) and the associated epidemiological conditions for S.

[Strongyloidiasis as a cause of multiorganic failure].

Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasite that has the ability to reproduce within humans, which explains its persistence for many years. It lives in the duodenum and ileum, between the enterocytes, and opens up to the intestinal lumen. Historically it is associated with tropical and subtropical rural areas, but its development has been seen in microclimates that favour the biological cycle.

Pulmonary thromboembolism-a rare presentation for Strongyloides hyperinfection in an immunocompetent patient.

is an intestinal nematode. It is widely distributed in the tropics and sub-tropics of the world. It can cause a wide array of illnesses ranging from asymptomatic autoinfection to a severe form of hyperinfection and disseminated strongyloidiasis.

Indolent infections in patients with hematologic malignancy: A single-center experience screening for tuberculosis and strongyloidiasis prior to cytotoxic therapy in Boston.

Individuals with hematologic malignancy have increased risk of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) reactivation and (SS) dissemination. However, screening prior to chemotherapy or corticosteroids is not routine. We conducted a LTBI and SS screening intervention amongst patients with hematologic malignancies.

Strongyloides Hyperinfection Syndrome Following Immunosuppressant Therapy for COVID-19: A Case Report With Literature Review.

Strongyloides hyperinfection and disseminated infections are usually associated with immunosuppression; these severe manifestations occur in a minority of cases. The use of immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids and Baricitinib for treating COVID-19 pneumonia can be responsible for patients' immunosuppression and cause Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome. The chance increases when the patient belongs to countries or regions where chronic infection with Strongyloides is more prevalent.

Evaluation of an Innovative Rapid Diagnostic Test for Human Strongyloidiasis to Detect Specific IgG Antibody in Whole-Blood Samples.

Human strongyloidiasis is an important intestinal parasitic disease that affects public health globally and is transmitted through contact with infective larvae on contaminated soil. Immunocompromised hosts can experience hyperinfection, which can lead to fatal systemic strongyloidiasis. Here, an innovative point-of-care (POC) test kit, the strongyloidiasis immunochromatographic blood test (the NIE-SsIR whole-blood ICT) kit is described.

STRONGYLOIDIASIS CAUSING BOWEL PERFORATION: RARE COMPLICATION.

Background: Strongyloidiasis is a soil-transmitted helminth infection caused by Strongyloides Stercoralis, mostly in tropical and sub-tropical regions, affecting over 600 million people worldwide. Infection is more prevalent among those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, institutionalized, or residing in rural areas. Parasitic adult females reside in the duodenum or stomach and produce eggs that hatch in the mucosa.

The Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Test for Is More Sensitive than Microscopy and Real-Time PCR in High-Risk Communities of Cusco, Peru.

Strongyloidiasis is a neglected, soil-transmitted helminth infection prevalent worldwide. The true burden of strongyloidiasis is unclear due to the lack of sensitive, field-friendly diagnostic tests. PCR tests to detect DNA in stool are sensitive and specific, but the need for expensive equipment limits their use in endemic regions.

Understanding infection and its relationship to chronic alcohol abuse: Understanding pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies.

Globally, Strongyloides stercoralis is a prevalent nematode parasite infecting over 600 million individuals, predominantly in tropical regions. Despite its widespread occurrence, it is frequently underdiagnosed and neglected, posing significant health risks, particularly to immunocompromised individuals. This parasite's life cycle includes a concerning capability for autoinfection, potentially leading to hyperinfection syndrome with high mortality rates.

Prediction of helminthiases in travellers and migrants with eosinophilia: a cohort study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine predictors for helminthiasis among travellers and migrants with eosinophilia for which a visit to tropical regions or endemic regions for common helminthiasis had been registered.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using electronic health records of 23 905 patients with eosinophilia (January 2011-August 2021) at Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, including patients tested for helminthiasis with a registered stay in a helminth endemic region. Outcomes were diagnosis of any helminthiasis and diagnosis of schistosomiasis and strongyloidiasis.

A Rare Case of Disseminated Strongyloidiasis Leading to Multisystem Organ Failure Following Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.

Strongyloidiasis is a rare systemic parasitic infection caused by the nematode, , that is often insidious and may remain dormant for many years before progressing to fulminant hyperinfection in an immunocompromised host. In this report, we present a case of disseminated strongyloidiasis in a patient who underwent a deceased donor kidney transplantation 2 months prior to presentation. Our patient developed multisystem organ failure as well as secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and ultimately died despite extensive resuscitative efforts and antiparasitic treatments.

Spectrum of endoscopic findings in infection with gastroduodenal involvement-A case series.

infects the duodenum and jejunum with rare involvement of the stomach. However, the clinical presentation and endoscopic findings are non-specific. There are limited data on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings in with gastroduodenal involvement.
