Strongyloidiasis is associated with Gram-negative bacteremia. Septic portal vein thrombosis or pylephlebitis is a rare but serious complication of intra-abdominal infection, and it is often associated with Bacteroides bacteremia. We present the first report of pylephlebitis with Bacteroides bacteremia associated with underlying Strongyloides stercoralis infection and briefly review the management of septic portal vein thrombosis.
