colitis is a severe but easily curable disease with a high mortality rate if left untreated. Strongyloidiasis can persist up to several decades and may lead to a chronic colitis similar to that seen in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the two are often confused. Chronic colitis from IBD is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, so it is plausible that chronic colitis from strongyloidiasis may carry a similar risk. Our case report associates chronic colitis and colorectal cancer.
结肠炎是一种严重但易于治愈的疾病，如果不治疗，死亡率很高。类圆线虫病可以持续数十年，并可能导致类似于炎症性肠病（IBD）中所见的慢性结肠炎，这两种疾病常常被混淆。IBD引起的慢性结肠炎会增加患结直肠癌的风险，因此类圆线虫病引起的慢性结肠炎可能也有类似风险，这是合理的。我们的病例报告将慢性结肠炎与结直肠癌联系起来。
