Gastric Strongyloidiasis in a Diabetic Patient
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Pathology - Year 2010, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
Strongyloidiasis is a common parasitic infection. Gastric location of the parasite is quite rare. Patients at risk are those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, individuals with malignant hematologic disorders, transplantations, diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, chronic renal failure, chronic alcohol consumption, patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome and elderly people. We report an atypical presentation of strongyloidiasis with gastric involvement in a diabetic patient.
