Case Report: Subcutaneous Ivermectin Pharmacokinetics in Disseminated Strongyloides Infection: Plasma and Postmortem Analysis.

Parenteral ivermectin treatment of disseminated strongyloidiasis and hyperinfection is increasing, although not licensed in humans and with limited pharmacokinetic data available. Plasma and postmortem tissue analysis in an human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus-positive man with disseminated strongyloidiasis suggests loading subcutaneous ivermectin doses are required, from which the central nervous system is protected.
