What does the immunocompromised paragraph actually say?
Repeated courses may be required. Adequate well-controlled studies have not been conducted to fix the optimal regimen. Several treatments, at 2-week intervals, may be required. Cure may not be achievable.
Control of extra-intestinal strongyloidiasis is difficult. Suppressive therapy, once per month, may be helpful. That calendar belongs to ID, not to a forum weekly 'immune' post.
The first count was at 64 kg. I am 82 kg at the retreatment visit.
Recalculate. 64 kg sat in the four-tablet band (51 to 65 kg). 82 kg is a calculate-200 mcg/kg row. Do not reuse four tablets because they 'worked.'
Bring today's kilograms. Counting tablets is the gesture. The lock is still 200 mcg/kg.
When is a second 3 mg day not the default?
Most labelled strongyloides writes. Extra tablets tonight because the bottle is still full are a fail. Confirm the species, the interval, and the last count before anyone redoses.
Feeling off at 48 hours is not a stool result. Comparative cure meant two negative stools at three to four weeks.
Why do some clinics keep checking stools for months?
In a French non-endemic study, larvae recrudesced as late as day 106. That series asked for at least three stools over three months and a Baermann-style concentration method when counts were low.
If recrudescence is seen, retreatment with ivermectin is indicated in that write-up. It is still a clinic call, not a kitchen double.
A campaign poster said come back in 12 months. Is that my strongyloides repeat?
That poster is an onchocerciasis program interval. This repeat scan stays on intestinal strongyloidiasis. Stool dates, not a yearly mosquito calendar, decide whether anyone writes a second 200 mcg/kg day.
If the chart is actually onchocerciasis, stop here and take that visit back to the clinician. This URL will not print the other table.
I start high-dose steroids Monday. Take 3 mg Sunday?
Screening before high-dose steroids in someone with endemic exposure is a clinic habit. This board will not publish a home 'cover me' count.
Hyperinfection is not the labelled single-day intestinal picture. Tell the steroid prescriber about endemic years. Loa geography if West or Central Africa fits: Loa loa scan.
