摘要：
Hyperinfection with Strongyloides stercoralis occurs mostly in immunocompromised patients, including those treated with systemic steroids. A case of Strongyloides-induced adult respiratory distress syndorme was recently reported, and we now report a case in which fatal ARDS appeared to result from the successful therapy of massive parasitic infection.
