Overview
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.
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.
