engBeltrán Rosel, A.Sanjoaquín Conde, I.Pérez Muñoz, A.Mateo Alcalá, P.Marta, C.B.Irigoyen von Sierakowski, A.Strongyloides stercoralis: a rare and severe presentation in a pregnant womanART-2020-117258Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasitic nematode with a worldwide distribution. It can go from an asymptomatic infection to a life-threatening hyperinfection syndrome. Here, we report a case of intestinal obstruction due to S. stercoralis in a pregnant woman. This condition, as well as severe strongyloidiasis in pregnant women, is seldomly reported. In this case, Human T-lymphotropic Virus 1 (HTLV-1) coinfection was confirmed, a well-known risk factor for a more severe presentation of strongyloidiasis. We suggest that HTLV status should be screened in every severe S. stercoralis infection, or when, despite a correct treatment, a relapse is observed.2020http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/94483http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/94483oai:zaguan.unizar.es:94483info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T51-17RThe new microbiologica 43, 1 (2020), 44-46All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
