| | Stongyloidiasis |
 | | The diagnosis of intestinal strongyloidiasis is made by repeated stool smear examinations and in extraintestinal strongyloidiasis the appropriate specimen is examined for the rhabditiform larvae. | | | We conducted a prospective study in patients with intestinal strongyloidiasis without known immunodepression who failed to respond to standard therapy with ivermectin or thiabendazole (failure was defined as one positive stool examination at the post-therapy follow up). | | | The drug of choice for the treatment of strongyloidiasis remains thiabendazole but due to its unacceptable side effects other medicines like albendazole and ivermectine are being used more frequently. |

| | We must emphasize that no sourcebook on strongyloidiasis should affirm that a specific diagnostic procedure or treatment discussed in a research study, patent, or doctoral dissertation is “correct” or your best option. | | | While we focus on the more scientific aspects of strongyloidiasis, there is, of course, the emotional side to consider. | | | The Official Patient’s Sourcebook on Strongyloidiasis has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. |

| | 2.14 An appropriate case-controlled (or prospective) study should be conducted to determine the clinical profile of Indigenous patients affected by chronic strongyloidiasis to enable clinicians in these communities to be better aware of patients at risk. | | | 4.11 The use of opportunistic reminders on strongyloidiasis for clinicians using the Ferret system should be evaluated to determine whether it improves patient management and cure. | | | 1.4 Research on the clinical and public health aspects of strongyloidiasis should be operational and have as an overarching philosophy "No research without service". |
