title: [Autochthonous strongyloidiasis in the north of France].
abstract: The authors discuss four cases of indigenous strongyloidiasis, which were detected in northern France during the past twenty years. In our hemisphere, the limits of this helminthiasis range between the 50th and the 53rd parallels of latitude. In two cases, indoor contamination must be suspected; in the third case, transmission has been facilitated by insalubrity and crowding; the fourth case was related to the activities of a dustman in camping sites. Nose bleedings were noticed in two cases and the haemorrhagic manifestations in strongyloidiasis are mentioned.
