Strongyloides stercoralis, Eosinophilia, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The Predictive Value of Eosinophilia in the Diagnosis of S stercoralis Infection in an Endemic Community.

The prevalence of eosinophilia was similar in diabetic compared with nondiabetic subjects (41.9% [95% CI, 33.5%–50.9%] and 39.1% [95% CI, 30.5%–48.5%], respectively; odds ratio [OR] = 1.12, 95% CI, .67%–1.88, P = .659), whereas the prevalence of eosinophilia was higher in infected diabetics compared with infected nondiabetics, although this difference did not reach statistical significance (71.0% [95% CI, 51.8%–84.8%] and 55.4% [95% CI, 41.9%–68.1%], respectively; OR = 1.97, 95% CI, .77%–5.03, P = .156).
