    (Sri Lankan Society for Microbiology, 2023) Weerasekera, C.J.; Menike, C.W.; Anpahalan, J.P.; Senevirathne, S.A.A.; Perera, N.; de Silva, N.R.; Wickremasinghe, D.R.
    Strongyloides stercoralis is a soil-transmitted helminth infecting humans that can cause hyperinfection and disseminated disease in the immunocompromised host. This case report describes a 56-year-old patient, diagnosed with hepatic metastasis, who was screened for strongyloidiasis by faecal culture. The agar plate culture became positive on the third day of incubation, demonstrating characteristic tracks and yielding rhabditiform larvae. The charcoal and Harada-Mori cultures were negative. The patient was treated with albendazole for 7 days but declined further follow up.
