Transmammary transmission of Strongyloides ratti.

The rate of transmammary transmission of Stronglyloides ratti was examined in albino rats in terms of the route of subcutaneous (s.c.) migration from the infection site (the skin) to the cranium. Inoculation sites nearer the cranium resulted in less frequent transmammary infection. The maximum number of adult worms was recovered from the sucklings when the mother was inoculated in her hindquarter and sucklings were allowed to feed for 30-36 h after inoculation (AI). Few worms were recovered from sucklings when they were allowed to nurse during periods of less than 24 h AI or greater than 42 h AI. In lactating mothers, larval infection of the mammary glands was commonly observed, and these larvae showed an increased esophagus length. In nonlactating mothers, most larvae completed their migration to the cranium within 36 h AI.

Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome after heart transplantation: case report and review of the literature.

Stronglyoides hyperinfection syndrome (SHS) is an augmentation of the infective life cycle of S stercoralis. Immunosuppressed patients, especially those taking corticosteroid therapy, are at risk. We present a case of fatal SHS with disseminated infection following orthotopic heart transplantation. The patient was treated with increased doses of immunosuppressive medications for graft rejection, including corticosteroids. A review of the literature describing the pathophysiology, host defenses and treatment of SHS is also presented. Diagnostic tests for S stercoralis are reviewed. SHS should be part of the differential diagnosis in immunosuppressed patients presenting with sepsis or gastrointestinal or pulmonary complaints. Pretransplant evaluation for parasitic infections, including strongyloidiasis, should occur in endemic areas or in patients at risk for occult infestation.
