Serendipitously identified Strongyloides stercoralis in a cervicovaginal smear

Several forms of life cycle associated with S. stercoralis probably explains the colonization of different body sites by the various stages of its larvae that result in disease manifestations ranging from irritation, pruritis, to Loffler's syndrome; life-threatening pneumonia; diarrhea to chronic malabsorption syndrome. The purpose of this case is to illustrate this rare, incidental finding in a Pap smear and at the same time the need to remain aware of rare parasites in routinely examined cervicovaginal Pap smears.
