ABSTRACT: Strongylodies Stercoralis affects 30 to 100 million people worldwide and is a common cause cause of abdominal pain and diarrhea. Strongyloidasis is a disease caused by the nematode Strongyloides Stercoralis that is commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas such as Philippines. It is recognized to be life-threatening to the patients especially those with depressed immune system. Diagnosis rests on the microscopic identification of larvae (rhabditiform and occasionally filaform) in the stool. Culture techniques are the most sensitive, and one of the culture technique is the Harada-Mori filter paper technique. This is a case of a 65-year-old male, retired farmer, who presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea. Identification of the larvae was done through Harada Mori Stool Culture. The patient responded to treatment with oral Mebendazole.
