A survey was performed to estimate the prevalence of chronic strongyloidiasis among 145 Dutch ex-prisoners of war who had been working on the Burma-Thailand railway in 1943-1945, and 56 ex-internees in civil camps in the former Dutch East Indies. No infections were found in the latter group while in the Burma group 26 men (17.9%) had S. stercoralis larvae in their stools. Many of them suffered from larva currens, an urticarial skin disorder, cured by treatment. Examination of fresh stool specimens with the Baermann concentration technique gave better results than faecal cultures and microscopy of duodenal aspirate. Mean IgE level and eosinophil count were significantly higher in infected persons but the ranges are too wide to use these tests in diagnosing individual cases.
一项调查旨在估计1943年至1945年期间在缅甸-泰国铁路工作的145名荷兰前战俘以及56名曾被关押在荷属东印度群岛民用营地的前被拘留者中慢性类圆线虫病的患病率。后一组未发现感染，而在缅甸组中，有26名男性（17.9%）粪便中含有粪类圆线虫幼虫。他们中的许多人患有幼虫移行症，这是一种荨麻疹性皮肤病，经治疗后痊愈。用贝曼氏浓缩法检测新鲜粪便标本比粪便培养和十二指肠抽吸物显微镜检查效果更好。感染者的平均IgE水平和嗜酸性粒细胞计数显著更高，但范围过宽，无法用这些检测来诊断个体病例。
