Cutaneous
· there maybe dermatitis, with erythema and itching at site of penetration
· particularly when large number of larvae penetrate the skin
· those sensitized by prior infection ,there maybe allergy respond
· this may prevent larvae from entering the blood circulation , which instead migrate in skin
· this lead to the formation of creeping eruption or larvae migrans/larvae currens
· larvea currens=rapidly progressing linear urticarial tracks caused by migrating strongyloides larvae
Intestinal (Gastrointestinal)
. Bloating , distension
. Diffuse abdominal pain
· Resemble as the peptic ulcer and malabsorption syndrome
· Mucus diarrhea normally without blood
· In heavy infection, the mucosa of intestine maybe combed with worm
· -May lead to extensive sloughing, causing dysenteric stools
