Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Rhabditiform larvae, transforming larvae from rhabditiform to filariform, and eggs of Strongyloides stercoralis were identified in the sputum of a Thai woman with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and stool microscopy also showed a heavy load of rhabditiform larvae of S. stercoralis. She was treated with 12 mg ivermectin once a day for 2 days for the strongyloidiasis, with good therapeutic results being obtained. Strongyloidiasis may be a curable disease through the use of an appropriate therapy, even in a patient with AIDS. |
