Strongyloidiasis classification
Strongyloidiasis may be classified as acute or chronic based on the duration of symptoms and as hyper infection syndrome or disseminated strongyloidiasis based on the organ system involvement.[1]
Based on duration of symptoms
- Acute strongyloidiasis: If the duration of symptoms is less than 4-6 weeks.
- Chronic strongyloidiasis: If the symptoms persist for more than 6 weeks.
Based on organ system involved
- Hyperinfection syndrome: The strongyloidiasis infection is limited to the GI tract and the lungs
- Disseminated strongyloidiasis: Multiple organ systems are involved.
