Central Nervous System Strongyloidiasis and Cryptococcosis in an HIV-Infected Patient Starting Antiretroviral Therapy
Keyword(s):
We report a case ofStrongyloides stercoralishyperinfection syndrome with central nervous system involvement, in a patient with late human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection starting antiretroviral therapy, in whomStrongyloides stercoralislarvae andCryptococcus neoformanswere isolated antemortem from cerebrospinal fluid. Our patient was not from an endemic region for the parasite, so strongyloidiasis was not originally suspected. For this reason, we conclude thatStrongyloides stercoralisinfection should be suspected in HIV-infected patients starting antiretroviral therapy in order to avoid potential fatal outcomes.
