Overview

Differentiating Strongyloidiasis from the diseases

Differentiating Strongyloides stercoralis infection from other Nematode infections[1][2]
Nematode Transmission Direct Person-Person Transmission Duration of Infection Pulmonary Manifestation Location of Adult worm(s) Treatment
Ascaris lumbricoides Ingestion of infective ova No 1-2 years Free in the lumen of the small bowel

(primarily jejunum)

Trichuris trichiura

(whipworm)

Ingestion of infective ova No 1-3 years No pulmonary migration, therefore, no pulmonary manifestation Anchored in the superficial mucosa of cecum and colon
Hookworm (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) Skin penetration by filariform larvae No
  • 3-5 years (Necator)
  • 1 year (Ancylostoma)
Attached to the mucosa of mid-upper portion of the small bowel
Strongyloides stercoralis Filariform larvae penetrates skin or bowel mucosa Yes Lifetime of the host Embedded in the mucosa of the duodenum, jejunum
Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) Ingestion of infective ova Yes 1 month Extraintestinal migration is very rare[3] Free in the lumen of cecum, appendix, adjacent colon
