We report the case of a 49-year-old man with a diagnosis of gastric diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, treated with two lines of chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy, and presented about 3 months after completing therapy with recurrent episodes of epigastric pain, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Computed tomography scan, positron emission tomography scan, and upper GI endoscopy revealed gastric wall thickening and lymphadenopathy. Biopsy and histopathology ultimately revealed Strongyloides stercoralis infection that was mimicking disease recurrence. Opportunistic parasitic infections represent one of the major challenges in the management of cancer patients.

“…It is therefore necessary to repeat the stool examination (5). Septicemia caused by enteric Gram-negative, enterococcal, or Bacteroides fragilis bacteria frequently occurs after the gut mucosa is compromised by migrating larvae (5). In a previous case series, 2 of 19 patients with disseminated strongyloidiasis (10.5%) had candidemia (6).…”

“…Although no specific risk factors for candidemia in disseminated strongyloidiasis have been reported, we hypothesize that prior broad-spectrum antibiotic use is a possible risk factor. The mortality associated with untreated disseminated strongyloidiasis is nearly 100% (5).…”
