Introduction

Ivermectin is a treatment for "Strongyloidiasis is an underdiagnosed and preventable life-threatening disease caused by infection with the helminth Strongyloides stercoralis. Chronic asymptomatic infection can be sustained for decades, and immunosuppression can lead to disseminated infection, with a mortality rate of 70% - 100%. In the neurosurgical population, corticosteroids are the most consistent cause of hyperinfection."[1]

"What is strongyloidiasis?

"Strongyloidiasis is an infection with Strongyloides, a parasitic worm. It's sometimes called Strongy. The worm gets into your body through your skin and makes its way to your lungs and intestines, where it matures and reproduces.

Some infections can last for years. It can cause skin or digestive symptoms that come and go (intermittent) or no symptoms at all. If you have a weakened immune system, strongyloidiasis can be life-threatening."[2]
