TI  - Atypical clinical presentation of strongyloidiasis in a patient co-infected with 
      human T cell lymphotrophic virus type I.
PG  - 124-5
AB  - Alterations in the immunologic response induced by human T cell lymphotrophic 
      virus type I (HTLV-I) predispose the development of disseminated 
      strongyloidiasis. We report a case of an atypical clinical presentation of 
      strongyloidiasis in a patient co-infected with HTLV-I causing scrotal and 
      perineal pain and infertility. Strongyloides stercoralis was found in the 
      analysis of the sperm and specific therapy for strongyloidiasis was associated 
      with disappearance of the symptoms.
