Strongyloides stercoralis and cytomegalovirus coinfection in a patient with a transplanted kidney.

Cytomegalovirus is a major opportunistic infection after transplantation with significant morbidity and mortality for solid organ transplant recipients. Unrecognized infection with Strongyloides stercoralis may result in significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Coinfection with multiple pathogens is possible, leading to diagnostic delays, and may make treatment more challenging. We report a case of coinfection with S. stercoralis and cytomegalovirus in a kidney transplant patient that resulted in pneumonitis, gastritis, and cholecystitis.
