GUEVARA MIRANDA, Julissa; GUZMAN ROJAS, Patricia; ESPINOZA-RIOS, Jorge  e  MEJIA CORDERO, Fernando. Duodenal Lynphoma associated to Strongyloides stercoralis infection. Two types of HTLV-1 infection . Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2017, vol.37, n.2, pp.169-172. ISSN 1022-5129.

Infection by the Human T- Lymphotropic virus I (HTLV-1) causes Adult T cell Leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL), being the duodenal involvement rare. Commonly, patients co-infected with HTLV-1 and Strongyloides stercoralis are seen due to the lack of TH2 response found on these patients. We describe a 48-year-old woman, from the jungle of Peru, with a family history of HTLV-1 infection, who presented with a History of chronic diarrhea and weight loss. HTLV-1 infection with ATLL and strongyloidiasis were diagnosed. Ivermectin treatment and chemotherapy were initiated, being stabilized, and discharged. We report this case because of the unusual coexistence in the duodenum of ATLL and strongyloidiasis.
