Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Most of the parasite resides in the either GIT or lungs. So it is seems to be other parasites.

Most common parasites wandering in whole body are strongyloides stercoralis. It is seen most commonly in HIV reactive or immunocomprmised patient.

But it is advised you to get the worm examined by near by laboratory.

Treatment with albendazole will clear the infection.

But to eradicate the infection you need to clear the background immunocomprmise state.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
