Abstract:
A 28-year-old, lactating woman came for a routine checkup. Her cytologic smear revealed a single larva of Strongyloides stercoralis. On reviewing the literature on parasites encountered in cytologic smears, S stercoralis was found to be extremely rare. Our case is probably the second in the world and the first reported from India. A review of the literature on various parasites encountered in the cytologic smear is presented.
