Infection by <i>Strongyloides stercoralis</i> in immigrants with Chagas disease: evaluation of eosinophilia as screening method in primary care

Abstract

The prevalence of co-infection by T. cruzi and S. stercoralis is not negligible and has probably been underestimated for years in many areas, due to frequently subclinical infections. Therefore, serology seems mandatory for these patients and the use of eosinophilia as initial screening could facilitate the task, decreasing the number of analyses to be performed.
