[Case report on a Toxocara-canis infection of the human eye (solitary granuloma) (author's transl)].
Description of one case of an intraocular Toxocara-canis infection. It deals with a so-called solitary granuloma at the posterior pole of the eye. An infection with this parasit of world-wide distribution is probably more frequently than commonly supposed. The prognosis of the disease is unfavourable in most cases. The diagnoses of a larva migrans visceralis infection is possible by Lamina's Microprecipitation-Test on the living larva. It is an immune-biological and species specific test. The treatment is Minzolum¿ perhaps in combination with a corticosteroid or photocoagulation.
