Abstract

Strongyloides stercoralis is an intestinal nematode with a complex life cycle that involves colonizing and reproducing in the upper small intestinal mucosa. In a healthy host, the parasite usually does not cause any symptoms. We report a gastric infection case of S. stercoralis. A 72-year-old Turkish man was admitted to the Department of General Surgery with complaints of epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting for five days. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy evidenced a diffuse infiltrate in the stomach, causing decreased distensibility. Microscopically, superficial chronic inflammation with hyperplastic reactive changes and damaged surface was observed. Histopathological examination of the gastric mucosa showed numerous cross-sections of adult worms, eggs and rhabditiform larvae of S. stercoralis developing in the gastric crypts.

Özet

Strongyloides stercoralis üst ince bağırsak mukozasında üreyen ve kolonize olan, kompleks yaşam siklusuna sahip bir bağırsak parazitidir. Sağlıklı konakçılarda, parazit genellikle herhangi bir semptom vermez. Biz mide enfeksiyonuna neden olan bir S. stercoralis vakası sunuyoruz. 72 yaşındaki bir Türk erkeği, yaklaşı k 5 gündür mide ağrısı, bulantı ve kusma şikayeti ile genel cerrahi bölümüne tetkik ve tedavi amaçlı yatırıldı. Üst gastrointestinal endoskopisinde mide gerginliğinin azalmasına neden olan infiltrasyon paterni izlendi. Mikroskobik olarak mide mukozası nda yüzey epitel zedelenmesi ile hiperplastik reaktif değişiklik gösteren yüzeyel kronik inflamasyon görüldü. Histopatolojik incelemesinde gastrik kriptlerde S. stercoralis’e ait bol sayı da yumurta ve solucan yapıları izlendi.
