- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 57-year-old woman in Kyushu, Japan with a chief complaint of general malaise and who was finally diagnosed with adult T-cell leukemia and strongyloidiasis after bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) examination. The researchers recommend the inclusion of strongyloidiasis as a possible cause of pulmonary disease for differential diagnosis in endemic areas of Strongyloides stercoralis.
