Overview

Strongyloidiasis can mimic other worm infections like Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, hookworm infections (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale), Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) and gastrointestinal pathologies such as peptic ulcer disease, intussusception in children, and bile duct stone.[1][2][3]

Differentiating Strongyloidiasis from other diseases

The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate strongyloidiasis from other nematode infections:

Differentiating strongyloidiasis from other Nematode infections[1][2][4]
Infection Nematode Transmission Direct Person-Person Transmission Duration of Infection Pulmonary Manifestation Location of Adult worm(s) Treatment
Strongyloidiasis Strongyloides stercoralis Filariform larvae penetrate skin or bowel mucosa Yes
  • Lifetime of the host
 Embedded in the mucosa of the duodenum and jejunum
Trichuriasis 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
Ascariasis Ascaris lumbricoides Ingestion of infective ova No 1-2 years Free air in the lumen of the small bowel

(primarily jejunum)

Hookworm infection Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale Skin penetration by filariform larvae No Attached to the mucosa of mid-upper portion of the small bowel
Enterobiasis Enterobius vermicularis

(pinworm)

Ingestion of infective ova Yes
  • 1-month
  • Extraintestinal migration is very rare
 Free air in the lumen of cecum, appendix, adjacent colon
Disease Common findings Differentiating features Laboratory findings
Peptic ulcer disease
  • Epigastric with severity relating to mealtimes
  • Waterbrash (rush of saliva after an episode of regurgitation to dilute the acid in esophagus)
Intussusception
  • Currant jelly stools
  • Most cases occur in children ages 6 months - 2 years
  • Ultrasound findings include the target and pseudokidney signs
Bile duct stone
  • Pain is usually located in the upper right abdominal area radiates to shoulders
  • Jaundice

The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate intestinal strongyloidiasis from other conditions that may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea[5][6][7]
