Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of 101 patients with Strongyloides stercoralis infection in Xingbin District,Laibin City from 2017 to 2023,providing data for the prevention and control of strongyloidiasis. Methods Clinical data of 101 patients diagnosed with Strongyloides stercoralis infection at Xingbin District People's Hospital from 2017 to 2023 were collected. Statistical analysis was performed on patients' symptoms,anemia status,age,gender,occupation,education level,and other relevant factors. Results Among the 101 cases of Strongyloides stercoralis infection,there were 79 males and 22 females,with a male-to-female ratio of 3.6∶1. The majority of patients were from rural areas,primarily engaged in agriculture,and had a lower level of education. The average age was (65.32±12.48) years,with 67 elderly patients over 60 years old (accounting for 66.64％). Only about one-third of the patients showed gastrointestinal symptoms,but most patients had other comorbid conditions such as lung infection (28.7％),hypertension (24.6％),gouty and rheumatoid arthritis (18％),diabetes (13％),and malignant tumors (12％). Laboratory tests revealed that most patients (>40％) had anemia,positive fecal occult blood,and eosinophilia. Conclusions Strongyloides stercoralis infection in Xingbin District,Laibin City,predominantly affects elderly individuals with low levels of education from rural areas,with more males than females. Only some patients present with gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea,but most exhibit comorbid conditions including pulmonary infection,hypertension,gout,rheumatoid arthritis,diabetes,malignant tumors,etc. Coinfection poses a risk of accelerating and exacerbating disease progression,underscoring the need to strengthen the prevention and control of local Strongyloides stercoralis infection.
