Abstract

Hyperinfection strongyloidiasis is a pretty uncommon disease within immunocompetent individuals but it can affect immunosuppressed patients like post renal transplantation and that is because it is important to review the literature about it. In this article, we will write about the case report of a transplanted patient who developed hyperinfection strongyloidiasis after started the Immunosuppressive Therapy. This patient was diagnosed and treated successfully.
