title: Adult human case of toxocariasis with pulmonary migratory infiltrate and eosinophilia.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Toxocariasis is a zoonosis which is in Serbia characterized with a very high infection rate of dogs and excessive contamination of the soil with the eggs of Toxocara canis, the agent of the disease. Toxocara-induced infections have in recent years been established in a few hundreds of children, but toxocariasis has rather rarely been diagnosed in adults.
  
  
  METHODS
  We reported toxocariasis (visceral larva migrans) in an adult, manifested by migratory pulmonary infiltrates and positive serological test finding to Toxocara.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Human toxocariasis is a rare disease in adults, therefore it should be considered in adult patients presented with eosinophilia and migratory pulmonary infiltrates.
