Abstract

Experts recommend screening for strongyloidiasis in foreign-born immigrant children. We described Strongyloides seropositivity among 206 pediatric patients on a mobile clinic; 97.6% were born outside the US; 97.1% were Hispanic. Four (1.9%) had positive ELISA results. Mobile clinics can feasibly conduct strongyloidiasis prevalence studies to create guidelines for providers who see foreign-born immigrant children.
