[Hepatic Toxocara infestation].
We describe the case of a patient with infestation of the liver by visceral larva migrans as the sole manifestation of the disease. The difficulties in the diagnosis if no other organs are affected is stressed. The diagnosis is made by ultrasound and CAT scan and serological tests by ELISA. Tiabendazol is the treatment of choice.
