Article discusses ivermectin treatment for strongyloidiasis, suggesting drug concentration monitoring in severe cases.

This article, based on a clinical case, discusses ivermectin concentrations and proposes clinical and parasitological follow-up to guide parenteral therapy in severe strongyloidiasis.
