Prevention of Strongyloidiasis
Prevention of primaryStrongyloidesinfections is the same as for hookworms. It involves Preventing unhygienic defecation (eg, by using latrines or toilets) Avoiding direct skin contact with the soil (eg, by wearing shoes and using barriers when seated on the ground) If patients have strongyloidiasis, treatment should be instituted and parasitologic cure should be documented before immunosuppression, if possible. Immunosuppressed people who have recurrent strongyloidiasis may require additional and/or prolonged courses of treatment until cured.
