The parasite can complete its life cycle without leaving the host, allowing autoinfection and persistence. The risk of infection in travelers is low, but the disease may become lethal following immunosuppression. In case of solid organ transplantation, the risk of donor transmission has been suspected for several years. However, the management of live donors in this context has only recently been considered, and no guidelines exist for the management of deceased donors. To highlight the complexity of diagnosing, treating, and preventing strongyloidiasis donor transmission, we describe a case of possible transmission of severe strongyloidiasis to a kidney transplant recipient with limited travel history. Taking into account the difficulty of diagnosing chronic strongyloidiasis infection and the increase in travel and immunosuppressive treatments, we recommend pragmatic management guidelines to limit the risks of infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,23]],"date-time":"2018-01-23T07:00:49Z","timestamp":1516690849000},"page":"941-944","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Severe Strongyloidiasis in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: Should We Preventively Treat the Recipient, the Donor, or Both?"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Gilles","family":"Eperon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France;"},{"name":"Service des Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales, Assistance Publique\u2013H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Charles Foix, Paris, France;"},{"name":"D\u00e9partement de M\u00e9decine Communautaire, de Premier Recours et des Urgences, Service de M\u00e9decine Tropicale et Humanitaire, H\u00f4pitaux Universitaires de Gen\u00e8ve (HUG), Geneva, Switzerland;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jerome","family":"Tourret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France;"},{"name":"D\u00e9partement d\u2019Urologie, N\u00e9phrologie et Transplantation, Assistance Publique\u2013H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Charles Foix, Paris, France;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oana","family":"Ailioaie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France;"},{"name":"D\u00e9partement d\u2019Urologie, N\u00e9phrologie et Transplantation, Assistance Publique\u2013H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Charles Foix, Paris, France;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luc","family":"Paris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France;"},{"name":"Laboratoire de Parasitologie-Mycologie, Assistance Publique\u2013H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Charles Foix, Paris, France;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucile","family":"Mercadal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D\u00e9partement d\u2019Urologie, N\u00e9phrologie et Transplantation, Assistance Publique\u2013H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Charles Foix, Paris, France;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julien","family":"Mayaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France;"},{"name":"Assistance Publique\u2013H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, Service de Pneumologie et R\u00e9animation m\u00e9dicale, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Charles Foix, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Caumes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France;"},{"name":"Service des Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales, Assistance Publique\u2013H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Charles Foix, Paris, France;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benoit","family":"Barrou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France;"},{"name":"D\u00e9partement d\u2019Urologie, N\u00e9phrologie et Transplantation, Assistance Publique\u2013H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pital Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Charles Foix, Paris, France;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"314","article-title":"Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome: an emerging global infectious disease","volume":"102","author":"Marcos","year":"2008"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Diagn Cytopathol","first-page":"903","article-title":"Strongyloides stercoralis in a bronchial washing specimen processed as conventional and Thin-Prep smears: report of a case and a review of the literature","volume":"37","author":"Grapsa","year":"2009"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"465","article-title":"Strongyloides stercoralis, the hidden worm.
