Strongyloides stercoralis is a common nematode causing intestinal parasitosis in the Ecuadorian population, but cases of lung infection by this helminth have not been documented in Ecuador. We document the first case of pulmonary strongyloidias is caused by S. stercoralis filariform larvae in a male patient from Manabí Province (Ecuador), showing clinical symptoms of terminal pulmonary syndrome. Previous to the decease of the patient, the larvae were identified by the direct smear method of a fresh bronchial aspirate sample collected from the patient. Hyperinfection by filariform larvae (L3) was observed, exhibiting an abundance of up to four larvae per microscopic field. We suggest that an earlier treatment of the patient with a high spectrum anthelmintic could have saved his life. Pulmonary strongyloidiasis can be under diagnosed if the parasitological analysis of wet mounts of bronchial aspirate from patients suffering of chronic bronchitis and pulmonary syndrome to investigate the possible presence of S.stercoralis is not conducted. The training for microbiological screening using classic direct methods, as well as the constant investigation of this parasitosis and other helminthiases are still vital and relevant for public health personnel and microbiologists in developing countries in order to provide an early diagnosis of underdiagnosed parasitosis.

Introduction: The expansion of Visceral Leishmaniasis in areas of recent emergency in the last two decades in Brazil can be understood by spatial analysis. Methodology: Study of the spatial distribution of general VL and VL-HIV coinfection in the city of Bauru SP, Brazil between 2003 to 2016. The cases were georeferenced and attributed to the Census sectors using demographic, socioeconomic and urban infrastructure predictors. The incidence in these sectors was analyzed in univariate and multivariate one-step Poisson regression models. Results: The cumulative incidence rates of LV and LVHIV (per 100,000 inhab.) In this period were 131.1 and 19.7, respectively. In the univariate analysis, the spatial distribution of VL and VL-HIV co-infection was negatively associated with per capita income, population density, paving and proportion of streets in sidewalks and rain drainage. In multivariable models, the incidence of VL was negatively associated with per capita income (Incident Rate Ratio [IRR], 0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.860.92) and population density (IRR, 94; 95% CI, 0.90-0.97), while co-infection was negatively associated with per capita income (IRR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.71-0.91) and proportion of streets with rain drainage (TIR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.78-0.98). Conclusion: Demographic, socioeconomic and infrastructure deficits can influence the emergence patterns of VL in urban areas in developing countries.
