A case of strongyloidiasis hyperinfection is reported in a 59 year-old man who presented cortico-dependent bronchial asthma. Several points of this case are uncommon: the long latency period (40 years), simultaneous aggravation of asthma requiring increasing doses of corticosteroids, and above all, liver and biliary tract involvement. Disseminated strongyloidiasis is widely believed to be precipitated by impairment of cell-mediated immunity. It is therefore unlikely that infestation of the liver and the biliary tract can interfere with hepatic function.
