In 30 patients with foliaceous pemphigus the frequency of strongyloidiasis was 40%, by three Baermann- Moraes examination. In the "Hospital do Penfigo", for patients with pemphigus of Uberaba, the frequencies of strongyloidiasis in the employees (n = 14) and students (n=47), of the annexed nursery, also were high, respectively 35.7 % and 23.4%.

The environmental factor and the susceptibility of the pacients were associated with the high transmission of the strongyloidiasis.
