Abstract
A case of reactive arthritis combined with uveitis associated with a longstanding and heavy infestation with Strongyloides stercoralis is reported in a 32-year-old HTLV-1 positive West Indian man. Stool examination revealed numerous adult worms and larvae. Treatment with thiabendazole and ivermectin resulted in prompt improvement.Keywords
