A push enteroscopy and videocolonoscopy showed signs of severe duodenal and jejunal atrophy with multiple petechial lesions (Figure 1A; Video S1). Nevertheless, the patient presented fever (38 C), abdominal pain, diarrhea stools with mucus and abdominal wall bleeding and petechiae (Figure 1B). Skin, new enteral biopsies (Figures 1C,D) and a set of coproparasitological (fresh stool and Ritchie method) samples revealed S. stercoralis infection.
