Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Objectives: Describe clinical and laboratory features of strongyloidiasis at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases from November 2018 to January 2024.
Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective study. Inclusion criteria were based on direct microscopy of Strongyloides stercoralis larvae in body fluid specimens (stool, gastric fluid, respiratory tract fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.).
Results: 48 patients were included in the study, 85.42% of cases were male, with a median age of 64.5 years. 83.33% of patients had comorbidities. 60.42% of patients were in the intensive care unit (ICU).
There were 33.33% of uncomplicated strongyloidiasis and 66.67% of severe strongyloidiasis. Severe strongyloidiasis had higher rates of fever and neutrophilia than uncomplicated disease. 20.83% of cases had co-infection with sepsis; 27,08% of cases had bacterial co-infection in cerebrospinal fluid. The most common bacteria were E. coli and K. pneumoniae.
Conclusions: Patients were mainly male, aged > 60, and had comorbidities. The rate of patients with severe strongyloidiasis is 66.67%. Severe strongyloidiasis had significantly higher rates of fever and neutrophilia than uncomplicated strongyloidiasis.
