[Strongyloidosis. Part II. Pathogenesis and pathology]

Pathogenesis and pathology of alimentary system of man infected with Strongyloides stercoralis are shown. Allergic, macroscopic lesions of duodenal, small and large intestinal walls, existing in different clinical strongyloidosis types are discussed. The role of endo-autoinfection in the course of strongyloidosis in the immunocompromised patients with fatal disseminated strongyloidosis is shown. In disseminated strongyloidosis lesions include stomach, liver and rarely pancreas. Pathogenesis of macroscopic and microscopic lesions in respiratory, circulatory and central nervous systems of a man infected with Strongyloides stercoralis, mainly in the course of fatal disseminated strongyloidosis, is shown. Rare cases of presence of parasite filariform larvae in urinary tract, reproductive system, and other organs are also given.
