Abstract
Strongyloides stercoralis infection in humans continues to be a subject that has frequently inspired reviews and papers. Within the AIDS epidemic, interest gathered momentum with the inclusion of this infection in the indicator diseases list, and its subsequent removal 5 years later by the CDC. These actions have prompted a debate as to whether this infection has special significance in patients with AIDS and whether its exclusion from the CDC criteria is justified. A detailed review of the world literature reveals an increased awareness and diagnosis of this infection in patients with AIDS which takes the form of dissemination, a rapid course, and a usually fatal outcome.Entities:
