		Strongyloides is an important cause of failure to thrive and cachexia in immunocompetent children.
		Strongyloides infection should be suspected in a patient with nonspecific gastrointestinal, respiratory, or recurrent dermatologic symptoms of unclear etiology with risk factors for Strongyloides infection.
		Strongyloides infection is often not suspected by clinicians as it often has a nonspecific presentation and a range of manifestations from asymptomatic to multiorgan failure.

		Strongyloides has the ability replicating itself both in the soil and within the human body and uniquely has the characteristic of autoinfection which explain the prolong period of infection that may reach 30 years or more.

	Strongyloides stercoralis worm treatment information
		Strongyloides is also known as Strongyloides stercoralis and, rather confusingly, is sometimes called a 'threadworm' in America.
		An infection occurs when the larvae of strongyloides, contained in contaminated faeces in the soil, is able to penetrate human skin.
		An example of this was the American soldiers who contracted strongyloides in Burma during the Second World War and suffered from periodic abdominal pain until the infestation was diagnosed and treated decades later.

		Background: Strongyloidiasis is an intestinal infection caused by the parasitic nematode Strongyloides stercoralis.
		Histologic Findings: S stercoralis larvae are typically found in the proximal part of the small intestine, embedded in the mucosal lamina propria, where they produce mild-to-moderate degrees of edema, cellular infiltration, partial villous atrophy, and, occasionally (in severe strongyloidiasis), ulcerations.

	Strongyloides Stercoralis Life Cycle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Strongyloides stercoralis is a ubiquitous nematode in tropical and neotypical areas of the world and is also found in more temperate climates, including warmer parts of the United States.
		Strongyloides normally inhabits soil, producing infective (filariform) larvae which can penetrate skin or mucosa, if ingested.
		Among metazoans, Strongyloides is unique in its ability to maintain infection for years without re-exposures; this is accomplished by an autoinfection cycle.
