Immune reconstitution syndrome to Strongyloides stercoralis infection

Two case reports have recently been published describing possible immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) to Strongyloides infection; however, there is debate as to whether the presentations may alternatively be caused by Strongyloides hyperinfection. We report, we believe for the first t...
