Abstract
- Concomitant parasitism is not uncommon especially in tropical countries with low socioeconomic status. Here we report an unusual combination of intestinal infection due to Strongyloides stercoralis, Blastomyces hominis and non-cholera Vibrio in a patient suffering from acute gastroenteritis and hypoalbuminemia. Early recognition and accurate treatment of gastrointestinal infections and infestations before the patient develops complications is important.
