Acute respiratory distress syndrome due to Strongyloides stercoralis in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Strongyloides stercoralis is a nematode endemic in tropical and subtropical regions. In immunocompetent subjects, pulmonary disease caused by the parasite is unremarkable but the same can be life threatening in immunocompromised subjects. Though described in literature it is rarely seen in Indian subjects. We report a patient with ARDS due to Strongyloides stercoralis complicating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with neutropenia.
