Popis:	Cases of acute and chronic Strongyloides stercoralis are presented as tourists travelled to Thailand, the coast of Black sea in Russia and Abkhazia. A high level of clinical suspicion is required to make the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis in at-risk patients presenting with peripheral eosinophilia, unexplained intermittent diarrhea, abdominal discomfort and skin rashes. Owing to increased risk of developing disseminated disease or hyperinfection syndrome, early detection and treatment of strongyloidiasis are extremely important. Strongyloidiasis should be routinely investigated in patients with chronic diseases who will undergo immunosuppressive therapy. Ivermectin or thiabendazole currently is the treatment of choice which are more effective than albendazole.
