Abstract
We have described a patient who died of disseminated strongyloidiasis as a result of steroid therapy, despite an extensive diagnostic evaluation in the face of eosinophilia, but before any immunosuppressive therapy. This death might have been prevented by presumptive treatment after work-up but before immunosuppressive therapy, and repeat diagnostic evaluation after antistrongyloides therapy and during immunosuppressive therapy.Keywords
