It is rarely reported in Bangladesh probably due to the low index of suspicion in common practice. We are reporting a case of strongyloidiasis that was found in a middle-aged patient presenting with diarrhoea, weight loss and generalized itching. He was treated in different hospitals and undergone extensive investigation. We diagnosed him as a case of strongyloidiasis on the basis of stool microscopy examination and treated with Ivermectin.</p><p>J MEDICINE Jan 2018; 19 (1) : 54-57</p> ER -
