Description
Robin Sharma and co-authors describe a worm infection that exploded after COVID-19 treatment, in a 2024 case report. The worm lives quietly in many people in warm regions. Drugs that calm the immune system, given for severe lung infection, can let it surge through the body.
A seventy-eight year old man from Bangladesh improved on steroid and immune calming drugs, then returned two months later with fever, diarrhea, and itching. Blood and stool tests showed the worm in its young form, in huge numbers. Two anti-worm drugs cleared it, and a later stool check was clean. The authors urge screening before long immune calming courses in high risk regions.
