[Manifestations of visceral and ocular symptoms of toxocariasis in a 6-year-old boy].
In the past 10 years we have examined 137 cases of toxocariasis, predominantly in children. Three cases were with unilateral ocular involvement. The article reviews a 6-year-old boy with left side strabismus and granulomatous chorioretinitis. Laboratory examinations revealed blood eosinophylia 24% and IgG against Toxocara canis larvae in titer 1:320 by indirect immunofluorescent assay. In epidemiologic anamnesis we concluded that about 4, 5-year-long geophagia was the source of infection.
