# Strongyloides Infection Presenting as E. coli Meningitis Post-Transplant

## TL;DR

A rare case of Strongyloides infection and E. coli meningitis was successfully treated in a transplant patient 20 years after surgery.

## Contribution

This case highlights the rare but possible co-occurrence of strongyloidiasis and bacterial meningitis in immunocompromised individuals.

## Key findings

- Strongyloidiasis and E. coli meningitis can co-occur in post-transplant patients.
- Early recognition and treatment can lead to successful outcomes in such rare cases.

## Abstract

Strongyloidiasis is a common intestinal infection that may persist in humans for decades without symptoms or can present as a potentially fatal, broadly disseminated infection in an immunocompromised host. This report describes a rare case of concomitant strongyloidiasis and E. coli meningitis that was successfully recognized and treated in a patient 20 years post-renal transplantation.
