    Abstract:
    Two cases of Strongyloides hyperinfection have been reported who were on prolonged steroid therapy for frequent exacerbations of respiratory problems. One patient presenting with acute respiratory distress, rapidly deteriorated, did not give any time for management and died whereas the second patient survived because of early diagnosis of hyperinfection due to Strongyloides stercoralis.
