Case Report: Two Cases of Strongyloidiasis Presenting with Thrombotic Events.

We report two unusual cases of clinical strongyloidiasis that present as extensive thrombosis: a case of hyperinfection with concurrent eosinophilia and a case of disseminated infection as a complication of immunosuppression. We discuss risk factors for the development of Strongyloides stercoralis infection and thromboembolism, and the recommended management.
