Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has posed formidable public health and clinical challenges to the entire humanity. A significant proportion of the COVID-19 patients have been provided immunosuppressive agents, particularly corticosteroids, as a part of management of moderate to severe COVID-19 disease. This has the drawback of development of strongyloides hyperinfection to disseminated infection in latent strongyloides infection patients. We are reporting the case of strongyloidiasis hyperinfection in a COVID-19 patient from a developing country, who initially received corticosteroid therapy for management of COVID-19, but later presented to hospital with non-specific, strongyloides related symptoms.
