What happens during the disease - cutaneous strongyloidiasis
Cutaneous strongyloidiasis is caused by the parasitic nematode, strongyloides stercoralis. it is acquired through contact with contaminated soil, which is usually found in tropical and subtropical regions. the parasite penetrates the skin and migrates to the lungs, where it matures and lays eggs. the eggs are then passed out in the stool, where they can re-infect the host or be spread to other hosts through contact with contaminated soil. in the skin, the larvae cause an itchy rash that can lead to secondary bacterial infections.
