We describe two case reports of immunosupressed patients receiving oral steroids and who presented lung Strongyloidiasis; later they evolved toward respiratory failure, with different clinical courses. One developed severe hipoxemia, hemodynamic inestability and death. The worst prognosis in this patient was determined by diffuse infiltrates and the resulting lung injury. The other one presented a stable clinical course and evolved to full recovery; this case presented a cavern in the chest X-ray which could represent a preliminary phase for lung extension of the infection. The difference in the evolution of these two patients is determined by the different presentation of the lung damage.
