AB  - Helminthic infection and HIV have been reported to coexist, particularly in 
      sub-Saharan African patients living with HIV. Strongyloidiasis is one of the most 
      common helminths, usually leading to cutaneous and gastrointestinal (GI) 
      symptoms. In the immunocompromised host, this infection can lead to 
      strongyloidiasis hyperinfection syndrome (SHS), not common in HIV-infected 
      patients. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) can follow the 
      initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), with a variety of presentations. The 
      authors present here a 32-year-old HIV-infected female who was recently diagnosed 
      with AIDS, started ART, and recovered from SHS. Her upper endoscopy revealed 
      severe duodenitis but no causal agent per biopsy or stool examination. After 
      receiving symptomatic therapy, she showed improvement, a course of events that 
      fit the diagnosis of GI-related IRIS.
