A 14-month-old previously healthy boy developed progressively worsening neurological symptoms secondary to eosinophilic meningoencephalitis with myelitis caused by raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) infection. MRI demonstrated T2 hyperintensity and enhancement of the cerebral white matter, cerebellum and spinal cord.

Human infections caused by the Raccoon roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis
Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 2002Abstract Raccoons are the natural host of the roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis , a zoonotic nematode parasite capable of causing severe human ocular and neurologic disease. Although a rare human infection, baylisascariasis is increasingly being recognized as a significant public health problem, especially in young children less than 4 years old ...
