A male patient showing eosinophilia(10〜32%)in peripheral blood was suspected of parasitic disease. Rabditiform larvae were found in repeated stool examination, and idenitified as Strongyloides stercoralis from filariform larvae gotten by the filter paper culture method. As the patient lives in Hakataku, Fukuoka and has never visited any area of endemic for this parasite, it is likely that he was infected in the Philippine Islands during the Second World War.
