A case of masquerading bronchopneumonia

S. stercoralis infection is very common in South East Asian countries including India. Chronic infection is very common with symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anemia, and cough. Hyperinfection and dissemination usually occur in immunocompromised patients with symptoms mimicking asthma, COPD, or aseptic meningitis. Very few cases of hyperinfection and dissemination have been documented in immunocompetent patients. We report this case for its rarity and future references.
