RESUMO
Os autores apresentam om caso de infecção por Strongyloides stercoralis noma doente imunocompetente, detectado no decurso de avaliação microbiológica da expectoração para diagnóstico etiológico de hemoptises.
A observação de esfregaços de expectoração corados pela técnica de Ziehl-Neelsen, revelou larvas rhabditóides, resistentes à desco’oração pelo ácidoálcool (seguidamente confirmadas noma preparação a fresco da mesma amostra), permitindo a identificação do agente causal provavel. É apontada a atitude terapêutica necessária a resolução do quadro clínico.

ABSTRACT
The authors present a case of Strongyloides stercoralis infection in an immunocompetent patient, detected during microbiological study of sputum for diagnostic work-up of haemoptysis.
The observation of Ziehl-Neelsen-stained sputum smears revealed rhabditiform alcohol-acid fast larvae (further confirmed in a wet mount of the same sample), permitting the identification of the probable etiological agent. The therapeutic attitude necessary to the resolution of the clinical picture is pointed out.
