Abstract:
A 66 year-old man presented with a myelitis associated with eosinophilia in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Specific serological procedures in blood and stool examinations led to the diagnosis of myelitis due to Strongyloides stercoralis. Physiopathology of medullary lesions is discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of myelitis in the course of Strongyloides infection.
