- Abstract
Undifferentiated connective tissue disease has been used to describe disorders characterized by the presence of systemic autoimmune disease signs and symptoms that do not meet the diagnostic criteria for a recognized illness. Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic infection caused by Strongyloides stercoralis that lasts for years. We present a case with the first discovered undifferentiated connective tissue disease presented by pulmonary strongyloidiasis apart from hyperinfection syndrome.
