Overview
Strongyloidiasis can mimic other worm , and also gastrointestinal pathologies like peptic ulcer disease, intussusception in children, and bile duct stone.[1]
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 Strongyloidiasis from other Nematode infections[2][3][4] | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nematode | Transmission | Direct Person-Person Transmission | Duration of Infection | Pulmonary Manifestation | Location of Adult worm(s) | Treatment |
| Strongyloides stercoralis | Filariform larvae penetrate skin or bowel mucosa | Yes |
|
|
Embedded in the mucosa of the duodenum, jejunum | |
| Ascaris lumbricoides | Ingestion of infective ova | No | 1-2 years |
|
Free air in the lumen of the small bowel
(primarily jejunum) |
|
| Trichuris trichiura
(whipworm) |
Ingestion of infective ova | No | 1-3 years |
|
Anchored in the superficial mucosa of cecum and colon | |
| Hookworm | Skin penetration by filariform larvae | No |
|
|
Attached to the mucosa of mid-upper portion of the small bowel | |
| Enterobius vermicularis
(pinworm) |
Ingestion of infective ova | Yes |
|
|
Free air in the lumen of cecum, appendix, adjacent colon | |
Other conditions that need to be differentiated from strongyloidies in fection include
| Disease | Common findings | Differentiating features | Laboratory findings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peptic ulcer disease |
|
|
|
| Intussusception |
|
|
|
| Bile duct stone |
|
|
