AbstractIn the present case report a 50-year-old woman is presented with a Strongyloides stercoralis infection after a one-month stay in Sri Lanka. She showed a severe involvement of the central nervous system without a correlation of an immunosuppression. Strongyloides stercoralis is regarded as the cause of the cerebral involvement. Other possible causes are also discussed.
