Zoonotic Visceral and Ocular Larva Migrans
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1987Infection of children with the larval stage of the dog roundworm Toxocara canis usually produces few, if any, clinical signs. In some children, however, the disease may be severe, with permanent ocular or neurologic sequelae. Because the prevalence of infection may exceed 10 per cent in some population subgroups, it is important to understand the modes

Visceral Larva Migrans in Malaya
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1972Abstract Visceral larva migrans, widely reported elsewhere, has not been reported in Malaya, though it was suspected in children with persistent hypereosinophilia of unproved etiology in Singapore. Earlier surveys of helminths in dogs and cats in West Malaysia and Singapore showed a high prevalence of Toxocara infection in these animals. In the present

AGGLUTINATION STUDIES IN VISCERAL LARVA MIGRANS
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1953VISCERAL larva migrans, recently described by Beaver and his associates, presents an origin for a group of the extreme eosinophilias found in children. 1 The actual demonstration of larvae or ova in a liver biopsy appears necessary to make the diagnosis.

Larva-Specific Antibodies in Patients with Visceral Larva Migrans
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1977Seven of 10 patients with visceral larva migrans (VLM) had serum precipitating antibodies specific for larval antigens of Toxocara canis as determined by double diffusion in agar. Such antibodies were absent in 114 normal adults and 25 patients with collagen disease.

Toxocara pteropodis and visceral Larva migrans
Parasitology Today, 1989The life cycle of Toxocara pteropodis is only the second in the genus to have been elucidated in detail as a result of its suspected role in an epidemic of human disease. Transmission of this species of nematode is not only faecal but also tronsmommory, and the third-stage larvae demonstrate a remarkable affinity for the host's liver.

Thiabendazole Effects in Visceral Larva Migrans
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971To the Editor.— It has been postulated that antiinflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic effects may contribute to the clinical response that is often observed in the treatment of trichinosis with thiabendazole.1These nonspecific pharmacologic effects, thus far demonstrated only in laboratory animals, may also contribute to the clinical response seen ...

Toxocariasis of the liver: visceral larva migrans
Abdominal Imaging, 2007Toxocariasis is caused by dog ascarid, Toxocara canis, forming eosinophilic inflammation such as eosinophilic abscess or granuloma in the liver and lungs. The lesions move slowly and thus the disease is called as visceral larva migrans. On CT or MR imaging, hepatic lesions are seen as multiple, ill-defined, oval lesions that measure 1.0-1.5 cm in ...

Visceral Larva Migrans and the Hypereosinophilia Syndrome
Southern Medical Journal, 1998This is a case of visceral larva migrans and hypereosinophilia syndrome with persistently elevated white blood cell count despite adequate medical therapy in a 4-year-old boy with leukocytosis and splenomegaly. Medical history included reactive airway disease and geophagia (pica).

Visceral Larva Migrans of the Eye
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1972The clinical and histological examination in a case of pseudogliomata demonstrated a subretinal tube-like larval burrow connecting the optic disc with peripheral ocular structures. This clinicopathological sign is thought to present objective evidence of toxocara infection.
