Chronic diarrhoea in a returned traveller Diagnostic considerations and therapy for strongyloides infections Serology is also available and given the low numbers and intermittent shedding is a valuable additional tool in screening high incidence populations such as refugees. An important infection to diagnose due to larval persistence in the body and the rare complication of hyper-infection. Once diagnosed, by either serology or faecal examination therapy is either with ivermectin (children over the age of 5 and the immunosuppressed) or albendazole. Due to intermittent treatment failures eradication in immunosuppressed patients in particular should be documented. Return to scenarios
