Abstract
Recognition of the characteristic cutaneous eruption of disseminated s trongyloidiasis can be crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of th is potentially fatal infestation. We describe a corticosteroid-depende nt elderly man who had a purpuric eruption. Filariform larvae of Stron gyloides stercoralis were found in dermal granulomas and also in the s putum.
