An Overlooked Cause of Generalized Edema: A Case of <i>Strongyloides stercoralis</i> Hyperinfection Syndrome. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Strongyloides stercoralis infections are rare causes of protein‐losing enteropathy and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with peripheral edema due to hypoproteinemia, especially in endemic countries. Stool routine examination in such individuals is a simple but essential way of identifying this organism.
