説明

<p>We report a rare autopsy case of disseminated strongyloidiasis combined with cytomegalovirus co-infection involving a 68-year-old man, who was originally from Okinawa Prefecture in southern Japan, where strongyloidiasis occurs sporadically among the elderly. This patient was admitted with a diagnosis of drug eruption and hypereosinophilic syndrome. He was administered steroid therapy, but suffered complications of fever, respiratory distress, and pulmonary hemorrhaging. The autopsy findings showed disseminated strongyloidiasis in the alveolar spaces and the intestine and cytomegalovirus inclusion body foci in the lungs.<tt> </tt></p>
