Abstract
A 76-year-old man who lived in Kochi prefecture was admitted to our hospital with choledocholithiasis. He had fever, diarrhea, edema of legs and hypoproteinemia after choledocho-jejunostomy. Fecal examination showed the rhabditiform larvae of Strongyr-oides stercoralis. Fecal al-antitrypsin clearance in this patient was increased. Barium meal examination demonstrated edema, stenosis and superficial ulcerations from the ileum to the transverse colon. Soon after treatment with pyrvinium pamoate and thiabendazole, the larvae was not detected in his feces. The results of blood examinations and his symptoms were gradually improved. X-ray reexamination after treatment revealed improvement in the appearance of the small intestine and colon.
