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 X-ray
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 X-ray
Plain abdominal radiographs and contrast studies can usually reveal:
- Worm masses in bowel loops
Other findings include:
- Ulcerations
- Strictures
- Intestinal narrowing due to strictures and fibrosis
