Overview
Strongyloidiasis can mimic other worm infections, and also gastrointestinal pathologies like peptic ulcer disease, intussusception in children, bile duct stone, etc.
Differentiating Strongyloidiasis from the diseases
Strongyloidiasis can mimic other worm infections, and also gastrointestinal pathologies like peptic ulcer disease, intussusception in children, bile duct stone, etc.
| Differentiating Strongyloides stercoralis infection from other Nematode infections[1][2] | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nematode | Transmission | Direct Person-Person Transmission | Duration of Infection | Pulmonary Manifestation | Location of Adult worm(s) | Treatment |
| Ascaris lumbricoides | Ingestion of infective ova | No | 1-2 years |
|
Free in the lumen of the small bowel
(primarily jejunum) |
|
| Trichuris trichiura
(whipworm) |
Ingestion of infective ova | No | 1-3 years | No pulmonary migration, therefore, no pulmonary manifestation | Anchored in the superficial mucosa of cecum and colon | |
| Hookworm (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) | Skin penetration by filariform larvae | No |
|
|
Attached to the mucosa of mid-upper portion of the small bowel | |
| Strongyloides stercoralis | Filariform larvae penetrates skin or bowel mucosa | Yes | Lifetime of the host |
|
Embedded in the mucosa of the duodenum, jejunum | |
| Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) | Ingestion of infective ova | Yes | 1 month | Extraintestinal migration is very rare[3] | Free in the lumen of cecum, appendix, adjacent colon | |
