Overview
Radiographs can be useful investigations in the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis. A chest x-ray can reveal varying sizes of oval or round infiltrates (löffler's syndrome). Plain abdominal radiographs and contrast studies can reveal worm masses in bowel loops.
Xray
Chest Xray
A chest x-ray can reveal varying sizes of oval or round infiltrates (löffler's syndrome). These infiltrates usually resolve spontaneously. Other findings include :
- Segmental or lobar opacities
- Pleural effusion
- Cavitations and abscesses
Abdominal Xray
Plain abdominal radiographs and contrast studies can reveal worm masses in bowel loops. Other findings include:
- Ulcerations, strictures, rigidity, and tubular narrowing.
