In this study, we evaluated the seroprevalence of <jats:italic>Strongyloides stercoralis<\/jats:italic> among patients with leptospirosis in northern Iran. We evaluated 156 laboratory- or clinically confirmed leptospirosis cases. The overall seroprevalence of <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>stercoralis<\/jats:italic> was 32.0% (95% confidence interval (CI): 27.4\u201336.5%, 50\/156). Seropositivity was significantly associated with agricultural activities (odds ratio (OR): 2.84, 95% CI: 1.0\u20138.77) and gastrointestinal disorders (OR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.1\u20134.9). Laboratory findings indicated that seropositivity of <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>stercoralis<\/jats:italic> was significantly associated with decreased levels of platelet and elevated levels of creatinine, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Our findings suggested a higher exposure to <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>stercoralis<\/jats:italic> larvae among patients with leptospirosis. The public health and medical communities may benefit from this research through preventive measures to improve farmers\u2019 knowledge and awareness regarding strongyloidiasis and leptospirosis and the associated risk factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x21000237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,12]],"date-time":"2021-07-12T10:07:33Z","timestamp":1626084453000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Seroprevalence of <i>Strongyloides stercoralis<\/i> among patients with leptospirosis in northern Iran: a descriptive cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"P.","family":"Varzegar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Bayani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Kalantari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Nasiri-kenari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Amini Navaie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Mollalo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1358-1321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Rostami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X21000237_ref2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis and other intestinal parasites in rehabilitation centers in Mazandaran Province, northern Iran","volume":"25","author":"Ahmadi","year":"2015","journal-title":"Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences,"},{"key":"S0022149X21000237_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/QCO.0b013e32814a5729"},{"key":"S0022149X21000237_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0003491"},{"key":"S0022149X21000237_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-018-5985-5"},{"key":"S0022149X21000237_ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0002288"},{"key":"S0022149X21000237_ref21","article-title":"Prevalence and associated risk factors of Strongyloides sp","volume":"14","author":"Kalantari","year":"2019","journal-title":"infection in diabetic patients in the central part of Mazandaran, northern Iran.
