Diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection can be a challenge. The key to a timely diagnosis is to have a high index of suspicion. We present a rare case of a 36-year-old human immunodeficiency virus negative male patient, who was on multidrug therapy for lepromatous leprosy and was treated for type 2 lepra reactions with steroids in the past. The patient presented with vomiting and pain abdomen, persistent hyponatremia, and terminal hypoglycemia. He had features of malnutrition and had a rapid downhill course following admission. A diagnosis of S. stercoralis hyperinfection with sepsis and multiorgan failure, adrenal hemorrhage, and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion was established on a postmortem examination.
粪类圆线虫超感染的诊断可能具有挑战性。及时诊断的关键是要有高度的怀疑指数。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名36岁男性,人类免疫缺陷病毒阴性,曾接受多药治疗麻风瘤型麻风,过去曾用类固醇治疗2型麻风反应。该患者出现呕吐、腹痛、持续性低钠血症和终末期低血糖。他有营养不良的特征,入院后病情迅速恶化。尸检确诊为粪类圆线虫超感染伴败血症、多器官功能衰竭、肾上腺出血和抗利尿激素分泌不当综合征。
