title: Bilateral ocular toxocariasis demonstrated by aqueous humor enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A 14-year-old girl with a history of contact with puppies and chronic bilateral panuveitis was examined. The fundus of the right eye showed an inferotemporal pars plana exudate. The fundus of the left eye showed an elevated posterior mass.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Toxocara antibodies in the aqueous humor detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay had a Goldmann-Witmer coefficient of 8.63 in the right eye and 8.94 in the left eye. Toxocariasis may be a cause of bilateral panuveitis.
