disseminated strongyloidiasis, can occur in patients immunosuppressed by chemotherapy or AIDS, Ivermectin is treatment of choice :)
Hello, Can you please diagnose mine. A GI dr. said this is what I have and he tried to treat it with albenezole and Ivermectin but then my liver could not take it. I am very sick. Any help would be a blessing
