Overview
Common risk factors in the development of strongyloidiasis include immunosuppressive therapies with corticosteroids and other medications, HTLV-1 infection, organ transplantation, immune reconstitution syndrome, hematologic malignancies (especially lymphoma), tuberculosis, and malnutrition.
Risk factors
Common risk factors in the development of strongyloidiasis include: [1][2]
- Occupations that increase contact with contaminated soil such as farming and coal mining
- human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-1) infection
- Immunosuppressive therapies with corticosteroids and other medications,
- Immune reconstitution syndrome
- Hematologic malignancies (lymphoma)
- Tuberculosis
- Malnutrition
- Diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic renal failure.
- People living in endemic regions.
- Alcoholics
- Travellers, immigrants
