Abstract

Introduction: Strongyloidiasis can cause hyperinfection or disseminated infection in an immunocompromised host, and is an important factor linked to enterococcal bacteremia and meningitis. Case reports: We report two cases highlighting the importance of suspecting Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome in patients with enterococcal meningitis. Conclusion: Our cases highlight the importance of suspecting Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome in cases of community acquired enterococcal bacteremia and meningitis.
Keywords: Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome; enterococcal meningitis; enterococcal bacteremia Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome; enterococcal meningitis; enterococcal bacteremia
