Fatal adult respiratory distress syndrome following successful treatment of pulmonary strongyloidiasis

JR Thompson and R Berger
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Veterans Administration, Lexington, KY 40511.

A case of Strongyloides-induced adult respiratory distress syndrome was recently reported, and we now report a case in which fatal ARDS appeared to result from the successful therapy of massive parasitic infection.
