Strongyloidiasis Prevention and Control
- To prevent Strongyloides infections, contact of bare skin with contaminated soil should be avoided.
Proposed measures: wearing shoes, reduce faecal contamination of soil by sanitation (installation of latrines, personal hygiene). - Health education is essential
- Careful diagnostic investments and treatment before immunosuppressive treatment is started in patients who were exposed in the past (even if they have been outside endemic areas for 40 years!)
