Whether or not the infection rate is higher among indigenous populations in Taiwan remains unclear. The aim of our study was to assess the racial demographics, diagnoses and clinical details of strongyloidiasis. A total of 41 patients (27 males and 14 females) with strongyloidiasis at a tertiary referral centre in eastern Taiwan in a 21-year period were investigated retrospectively. The majority (36/41, 88%) of these patients lived in rural townships.
