Cholera Models with Hyperinfectivity and Temporary Immunity

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2012
A mathematical model for cholera is formulated that incorporates hyperinfectivity and temporary immunity using distributed delays. The basic reproduction number R(0) is defined and proved to give a sharp threshold that determines whether or not the disease dies out.

Recurrent Strongyloides stercoralis Hyperinfection Syndrome

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 2006
Strongytoides, the intestinal nematode, has worldwide distribution, and hyperinfection syndrome from Strongyloides stercoralis may be fatal. A case report of a cancer patient with recurrent hyperinfection syndrome is presented, followed by a brief update on recent information about this parasitic infection and its management.

Strongyloideshyperinfection syndrome in British veterans

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 2009
Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome is a rare but serious and often fatal complication of strongyloidiasis, usually precipitated by immune suppression (frequently caused by corticosteroidal drugs). Infections with Strongyloides stercoralis are known to occur in British veterans who served in South-east Asia during the Second World War, particularly ...

Strongyloides stercoralis Hyperinfection Masquerading as Cerebral Vasculitis

Archives of Neurology, 1984
Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection is a unique opportunistic infection in which the nematode disseminates widely to cause a multisystem illness. We treated a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus in whom ileus and fever developed and who later lapsed into coma.

Management of Strongyloides Hyperinfection Syndrome

2017
Strongyloides stercoralis is an infectious helminth endemic to the tropics and subtropics, and can be seen in immigrants and returning travelers. Symptoms of acute infection involve organs of the typical life cycle of the nematode. In milder forms of chronic infections, strongyloides is capable of persisting in a host for years to decades.
