Diagnostic Yield of Double‐balloon Enteroscopy With Intestinal Juice Analysis for Intestinal Strongyloidiasis

Abstract: Strongyloidiasis is relatively common in tropical and subtropical areas. Most patients with Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection are immunocompromised, most commonly from corticosteroids or human T-cell lymphoma virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection. We encountered a patient with HTLV-1 infection accompanied by paralytic ileus, in whom strongyloidiasis in the duodenum and jejunum was disclosed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE).
