Case report of hyponatremia due to strongyloides stercoralis infection in a patient with drug-induced adrenaline failure
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) associated with Strongyloidiasis is a rare condition. The pathogenesis is unclear. In this article, we report the case of a 51-year-old male patient admitted to the hospital with nausea and fatigue. Through clinical examination and laboratory tests, we found that the patient had severe hyponatremia due to SIADH. To investigate the origin of the disease, stool and blood were tested and results showed that the patient was infected with Strongyloidiasis. Treatment of Strongyloidiasis improves hyponatremia.
