Urinary Tract Infection by Strongyloides stercoralis: A Case Report.

This report deals with the unusual finding of S. stercoralis in a urine sample of an immunocompetent individual and absence of disseminated infection, but with hydronephrosis. Patients with nephropathies from S. stercoralis endemic areas should be monitored periodically, as early detection may prevent the worsening of symptoms and renal failure.
