| Strongyloides stercoralis is also capable of causing autoinfection in the host. |
| When immunosupression develops, autoinfection accelerates and hyperinfection occurs. |
| During the phase of autoinfection, chest radiographs or CT may show fine miliary nodules or diffuse reticular interstitial opacities. |
| Depending on the host immune response, this can lead to autoinfection and hyperinfection. |
| The syndrome is characterized by a high organism burden owing to autoinfection and is most common in immunocompromised hosts. |
| The endogenous autoinfection cycle can possibly persist for a lifetime. |
