Seroprevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis Infection in Patients with Hyperlipidemia: A Case-Control Study
The seroprevalence of <i>S. stercoralis</i> in the case group was 5 times higher than the control group. A significant association between TG and VLDL fall with <i>S. stercoralis</i> Ab (IgG) was observed, but future studies with more sample sizes are suggested to investigate the anti-atherogenic effect of <i>S. stercoralis</i>. Also, a genetic assessment of <i>S. stercoralis</i> and the host (humane and dogs) is recommended to research zoonotic potential in epidemic areas.
