Reported case is of multiple parasitic infections in a 10 year old male child from poor socio-economic background, presented with severe diarrhea and vomiting. Stool sample was sent for diagnosis of cholera, processed for microscopy and culture. In microscopic examination fertilized eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides, eggs of Trichuris trichiura and larva of Strongyloides stercoralis were found. In Hanging drop preparation darting motility was absent. In culture V.cholarae was not isolated. Patient responded well with albendazole and rehydration therapy. After three days sample was again collected for microscopy. It did not reveal any parasitic infestation. The present case describes a unique co-infection of three different nematodes in urban area.
