Parasitic infection still surprises us with amazing case presentation every now and then. Intestinal nematode infection is a worldwide health problem especially in humid and hot areas. Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) is a common soil-transmitted nematode infection in tropics and subtropics. Its severity ranges from asymptomatic infection in immunocompetent patients to hyperinfection and even disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report a case of severe protein losing enteropathy caused by S. stercoralis.
