Intestinal strongyloidiasis - what does this mean
Intestinal strongyloidiasis is caused by infection with the parasitic roundworm strongyloides stercoralis. the worm is transmitted through contact with contaminated soil, and once inside the body, the larvae migrate to the small intestine, where they mature into adult worms and lay eggs. the eggs hatch and the larvae are passed out in the faeces, which can then contaminate the soil and start the cycle again.
What happens during the disease - intestinal strongyloidiasis
Intestinal strongyloidiasis is an infection caused by the nematode parasite strongyloides stercoralis. the infection is acquired through contact with contaminated soil, and the parasite enters through the skin and migrates to the lungs, where it is coughed up and swallowed. the larvae then penetrate the intestinal wall, where they mature into adult worms and lay eggs. the eggs hatch and the larvae are released into the intestines, where they can cause inflammation, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. the larvae can also migrate to other organs, such as the liver, where they can cause further damage.
