“…The Baermann culture method has better detection rates compared to the agar plate culture method or the Harada Mori filter paper technique. 16 The water emergence method, where a stool sample is added to an agar plate with a central depression containing water and incubated at 37°C for one hour, also provides a good yield of larvae (sensitivity of 85%) for detection of the parasite. The above techniques use the principle of water tropism of larvae for the detection of the parasite.…”

Strongyloidiasis is a neglected parasitic disease caused by the intestinal parasite, Strongyloides stercoralis. Most patients with strongyloidiasis are asymptomatic, but few present with varied clinical manifestations such as cutaneous, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and disseminated disease. It creates a diagnostic dilemma and undue delay in the diagnosis of patients. We report the case of a 79-year-old male who presented with fever and abdominal pain due to strongyloidiasis with no history of immunosuppression. The infection resolved entirely on treatment with ivermectin.
