Resumen
RIVERA,, Ayleen et al. Strongyloides stercolaris hyperinfection in a young patient with HTLV-1 infection and ulcerative colitis. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.3, pp.408-413. Epub 01-Feb-2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.688.
Strongyloidiasis is an infection caused by the parasite Strongyloides stercolaris (SS) and is associated with high mortality in immunosuppressed patients due to larval spread and hyperinfection syndrome. Gastric mucosal involvement is rare, but when it occurs, it is characterized by digestive bleeding and persistent emesis. The following is the case of a 27-year-old patient with gastrointestinal symptoms, a history of HTLV-1 infection and ulcerative colitis, who developed hyperinfection syndrome with SS. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and complications arising from the infectious disease are described.
