Disease Features disseminated strongyloidiasis
Absence or low individual and public risk
Disseminated strongyloidiasis - what does this mean
Disseminated strongyloidiasis is caused by the parasitic roundworm strongyloides stercoralis, which is found in soil contaminated with human feces. it is transmitted to humans through contact with contaminated soil, and can cause a wide range of symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and rash. if left untreated, the infection can spread to the bloodstream, lungs, and other organs, leading to organ damage and potentially death.
What happens during the disease - disseminated strongyloidiasis
Disseminated strongyloidiasis is caused by an infection with the parasitic nematode strongyloides stercoralis. the parasite is found in soil and is transmitted to humans through contact with contaminated soil. once inside the body, the parasite penetrates the skin and migrates to the lungs, where it can cause an acute infection. if left untreated, the infection can spread to other organs and tissues, resulting in a more serious and potentially fatal form of the disease.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Clinical history and physical examination
- Stool examination for larvae or eggs
- Serological tests for antibody detection
- Duodenal aspirate or biopsy
- Urine antigen test
- CT scan or MRI of the abdomen
- Bronchoscopy
- Echocardiography
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treat Disseminated Strongyloidiasis
- Administer anthelmintic medication such as ivermectin or albendazole
- Administer corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of complications
- Administer antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections
- Monitor for signs of sepsis or other complications
- Provide supportive care, such as oxygen therapy, if needed
- Provide nutritional support to prevent malnutrition
- Monitor for signs of recurrence of the infection
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Disseminated strongyloidiasis - Prevention
Disseminated strongyloidiasis can be prevented by avoiding contact with contaminated soil and water, wearing protective clothing when gardening or working in soil, washing hands after contact with soil, and using insecticides to reduce the population of the nematode's intermediate hosts.
