Abstract
We report a case of strongyloidiasis in a patient born in Hong Kong and was possibly infected via her prior occupation in conservancy services. She presented with chronic diarrhoea, anorexia, and extensive scratch marks over the lower extremities. Further assessment yielded eosinophilia, intermittent dyspepsia, and an episode of unexplained Clostridium perfringens bacteraemia. She was treated with a course of albendazole. Subsequently, the eosinophilia and diarrhoea subsided.Entities:
