title: [Lung manifestation of visceral larva migration syndrome due to Toxocara canis infection].
abstract: 32 year-old patient was hospitalized because of disseminated lung lesions. 2 years earlier he manifested chorioditis. Exact disease history suggested suspicion of toxocare infection. The diagnosis was confirmed by serological tests with anti-Toxocara canis antibodies, bronchial lavage and chest CT scan. Administration of 450 mg of dietylokarbamasin (Hetrazan) resulted in complete resolution of pulmonary lesions.
