ABSTRACT
Strongyloides stercoralis infection is of low prevalence in Malaysia. We report an unusual case presenting primarily with gastric symptoms. The patient was a 72 years old Chinese male admitted for progressive weight loss and abdominal bloating. Gastroscopic examination revealed mucosal prepyloric elevations in the gastric mucosa. Gastric strongyloidiasis was confirmed by the presence of adult forms, as well as ova and larval rhabditiform stages of the worm in the gastric mucosal crypts. We believe that this is the first histologically documented case of gastric strongyloidiasis in Malaysia.
