VA Disability Rating for Hyperinfection syndrome or disseminated strongyloidiasis (DC 6325)

Hyperinfection syndrome and disseminated strongyloidiasis are severe forms of Strongyloides stercoralis infection in which the parasites multiply rapidly and spread beyond the intestines (to the lungs, central nervous system, skin, and other organs), most often in people with weakened immune systems. It can be life-threatening if untreated. The VA rates the condition at 100% through the active disease, followed by a mandatory VA examination. If there is no relapse, the VA then rates the lasting damage (residual disability) under the body systems affected. Any change in the rating based on that examination is subject to the due-process rules of 38 CFR § 3.105(e).
