Serological screening for toxocariasis, strongyloidiasis and fascioliasis in individuals with <b>eosinophilia</b> in Khuzestan, Iran
The results highlight S. stercoralis as the predominant helminth cause of eosinophilia, attributable to the adult cohort and regional ecological and sociocultural factors. The strong associations with age, occupation, and soil contact delineate high-risk groups. Routine serological screening for S. stercoralis is recommended in endemic areas, particularly before immunosuppressive therapy, to prevent sever complications.
