Disseminated Strongyloidiasis in Association with Nephrotic SyndromeDOI: 10.1159/000491632 Keywords: Strongyloidiasis, Strongyloides stercoralis, Nephrotic syndrome Abstract: Strongyloidiasis is a well-known parasitic infection endemic in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. While most infected individuals are asymptomatic, strongyloidiasis-related glomerulopathy has not been well documented. We present a case of disseminated strongyloidiasis in a patient with minimal change nephrotic syndrome treated with high-dose corticosteroids. The remission of nephrotic syndrome after treatment of strongyloidiasis suggests a possible causal relationship between Strongyloides and nephrotic syndrome
