Abstract
Se describe el caso de una adolescente de 15 años remitida a la consulta de parasitología del Policlínico de Especialidades Pediátricas de Camagüey, por presentar una eosinofilia marcada y lesiones purpúricas en cara y tórax, acompañadas de fiebre y vómitos con estrías de sangre. Se le indicó copa cónica en heces fecales y se observaron larvas de Strongyloides stercoralis, la biopsia de piel arrojó edema del dermis papilar y focos hemorrágicos, lesiones que se pueden presentar en pacientes con infección por esta parasitosis. En la encuesta epidemiológica se comprobó que la paciente acostumbraba a andar sin calzado con frecuencia y se constataron las malas condiciones higiénico-sanitarias en el hogar. Este caso constituye el primer reporte de estrongiloidosis crónica en la provincia.Downloads
