LOINC description : Strongyloidiasis stercoralis is a parasite that causes chronic infection. It is most
common in tropical and subtropical climates, and transmission occurs via direct contact
with contaminated soil. Patients who are immunocompromised can develop life-threatening
disease. Molecular techniques for detecting S. stercoralis DNA in stool are more efficient
than traditional diagnostic methods such as culture. [http://www.who.int/intestinal_worms/epidemiology/strongyloidiasis/en/];
