Strongyloides Details: NCBI 6247, gram-negative or unknown [genus]

1. Strongyloidiasis: Strongyloides stercoralis infection, or strongyloidiasis, occurs when the skin comes into contact with contaminated soil or water containing infective larvae. The larvae penetrate the skin and migrate to the lungs, where they are coughed up and swallowed, eventually reaching the small intestine, where they mature into adult worms. In some cases, larvae can also penetrate the skin of the perianal region and cause autoinfection, leading to chronic infections.

2. Symptoms: Symptoms of strongyloidiasis can vary widely and may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, cough, wheezing, rash, and itching. However, some infected individuals may remain asymptomatic or have mild symptoms.

3. Chronic Infection: Strongyloidiasis can become chronic, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems. Chronic infection can lead to more severe symptoms and complications, such as malabsorption, weight loss, anemia, and hyperinfection syndrome.

4. Hyperinfection Syndrome: In immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV/AIDS or those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, Strongyloides stercoralis infection can lead to hyperinfection syndrome or disseminated strongyloidiasis. This is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the rapid multiplication of larvae throughout the body, leading to widespread organ involvement, including the lungs, liver, and central nervous system.

5. Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis of strongyloidiasis is typically made by identifying larvae in stool samples or by serological tests. Treatment usually involves antiparasitic medications such as ivermectin or albendazole. However, in cases of hyperinfection syndrome or disseminated strongyloidiasis, more aggressive treatment and supportive care may be necessary.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Strongyloides

• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 1.95 Standard Deviation to Mean + 1.95 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples and are in percentage
