    Author: Oztürk G, Aydınlı B, Celebi F, Gürsan N.
    Journal: Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg; 2011 Jan; 17(1):90-2. PubMed ID: 21341143.
    Abstract:
    Strongyloidiasis is a parasitosis caused by the female nematode of the Strongyloides stercoralis. S. stercoralis causes a chronic infection that is asymptomatic in 50% of chronically infected patients, and it can also affect the stomach. Gastric involvement causes symptoms mostly mimicking gastritis. We report herein a case of gastric perforation in a 37-year-old woman, which was thought to be caused by S. stercoralis.
