|Upper GI [[endoscopy]] | |||
| | |||
* Typically worms are found in the proximal part of the [[small intestine]] | |||
* Edematous and [[erythematous]] [[mucosa]] with larva on biopsy | |||
|- | |||
|[[BAL]]/ Sputum examination | |||
| | |||
*Larvae can be detected by simple wet-mount in fluid collected by [[BAL]] | |||
|- | |||
|[[Skin biopsy]] | |||
| | |||
* Obtain specimens from the [[purpuric]] eruptions | |||
* [[Edema]], extravasated [[red blood cells]] (RBCs), and some [[lymphocytes]] in the superficial [[dermis]]. | |||
* The larvae range in size from 9 to 15 µm. | |||
|- | |||
|[[CSF]] ([[CNS]] involvement) | |||
| | |||
* Findings similar to [[Bacterial meningitis MRI|bacterial meningitis]] | |||
* Negative [[gram stain]] | |||
* A wet mount preparation may reveal ''S stercoralis'' larvae. | |||
|- | |||
|Duodenal aspiration | |||
| | |||
*[[Duodenal]] aspirate is more sensitive than [[stool examination]], and [[duodenal]] [[biopsy]] may reveal [[parasites]] in the [[gastric]] crypts, in the [[duodenal]] glands, or [[eosinophilic]] infiltration in the [[lamina propria]]. | |||
*The [[duodenal]] fluid can be examined using techniques such as the Enterotest string or [[duodenal]] aspiration. | |||
