A 5-year single-center review of <i>Strongyloides</i> seropositivity in kidney transplant candidates in Central Texas
Among kidney transplant candidates screened for <i>Strongyloides,</i> 7.3% were seropositive and many reported no travel history to endemic areas, which highlights the significant prevalence of this parasite in Central Texas. Universal screening at our institution identified a substantial number of seropositive patients who might have otherwise been missed.
