Strongyloides stercoralis infection in the UK: A systematic review and meta-analysis of published cases.
Strongyloidiasis is a helminth infection where symptoms vary, and asymptomatic presentation is common. Chronic strongyloidiasis can cause a high mortality 'hyper-infection' in immunocompromised states. Understanding at risk populations and symptomology can guide screening and early treatment to reduce hyper-infection risk. A systematic review of studies describing patients in the UK with strongyloidiasis pooled a total of 1,308 patients. Weighted pooled prevalence (WPP) of asymptomatic cases was 27.7% (95% CI 17.1-39.5%, I2 = 92%, p < 0.01). At-risk populations included migrants, returning travellers and armed forces personnel. The most common symptoms reported were abdominal pain (WPP 32.1% (95% CI 20.5-44.8%), I2 = 93%, p < 0.01), rashes (WPP 38.4% (95% CI 13.1-67.7%), I2 = 99%, p < 0.01) and diarrhoea (WPP 12.6% (95% CI 6.7-19.9%), I2=70%, p = 0.03). Symptomatology varied with cohort characteristics. Although asymptomatic presentation is common, patients may present with abdominal pain, diarrhoea or rashes. A low threshold for screening symptomatic individuals in at-risk groups is required.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Medicine is aimed at practising physicians in the UK and overseas and has relevance to all those managing or working within the healthcare sector.
Available in print and online, the journal seeks to encourage high standards of medical care by promoting good clinical practice through original research, review and comment. The journal also includes a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section in each issue. This presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self-assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired.
