Abstract

possibility of cancer, he was submitted to an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which suggested pangastritis. The gastric estrongiloidiasis diagnosis was further confirmed in the histopatologic analysis, which revealed the presence of S. stercoralis' eggs and worms. DISCUSSION: Even though the stomach involvement is rare, patients whose gastric mucosa is infected are more likely to evolve to the severe forms. Gastroduodenal ulcers and perforations have been reported as possible complications. Stool examination is considered the gold standard diagnostic method, but the histopatologic analysis may be valuable when stool examination fails. The treatment does not depend on the infection's site and ivermectin is the first line therapy.

“…The energy spectrum ranged from 8.03 keV to 14 MeV, discretized in 55 energy groups and the angular discretization used was set to n = 6 (S 6 ). As with previous cases, cross-section data was obtained using NJOY from the FENDL-3.1 database [29].…”
