Résumé : Strongyloidiasis is a parasitosis mainly located in tropical and subtropical regions. Its European incidence is increasing due to population migration. The symptomato-logy is variable, largely depending on the host immune status. The diagnosis may be challenging as a specific inquiry is needed. The disseminated status, called hyperinfection syndrome, is a life-threatening disease that might occur in immunosuppressed patients. The patient's chances for a successful outcome depend on a quick and specific management. The treatment is based on anthelminthic agents such as ivermectine or albendazole for which the dosage will vary according to the infection type.
