title: [Larva migrans visceralis--occurrence of ascarid eggs in sandboxes in the East German district city of Cottbus].
abstract: Between 1982 and 1985 18 sand-pits were examined for Toxocara canis eggs. Eggs were found in 4 sand-pits. This implies a risk of larva migrans visceralis infection for children playing in these sand-pits. Some measures for diminishing the contamination are recommended.
