Purpose:
|
Toxocariasis is a consequence of human infection by Toxocara larvae. There are symptomatic (visceral, ocular) and asymptomatic course of toxocariasis. The ocular form is very rare.We present a six-old-year patient who developed an ocular form of toxocariasis caused by Toxocara cati.
|
|
Methods:
|
He demonstrated lesions in the peripheral retina of the right eye. White granuloma was present in the superior peripheral retina. A positive immunological assay for toxocariasis essentially completed the outcomes.
|
|
Results:
|
On the basis of clinical manifestations and conducted examinations a diagnosis of ocular form of toxocariasis was established. Albendazole and corticosteroids were applied in treatment.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Current results clearly highlight the usefulness of excretory-secretory antigens derived from larvae of Toxocara cati for the fine diagnosis ocular larva migrans caused by Toxocara larvae.
