[Heavy diarrhea by low malignant B cell lymphoma].

A 52-year old female presented with a low, malignant centroblastic-centrocytic lymphoma. After splenectomy and under steroid therapy it came to the eruption of a latent Strongyloides stercoralis infection, which the patient had presumably been suffering from for several years. Due to the immunodeficient condition and under continued steroid therapy even three courses of high dose anthelmintic therapy could not eradicate the parasites. The patient died of fulminant sepsis.
