Antibody to Toxocara Canis in Humans

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1965
The demonstration by Wilder1of nematode larvae in 24 of 46 eyes enucleated following a clinical diagnosis of retinoblastoma, pseudoglioma, Coats' disease, or panophthalmitis and the identification of the nematode in four of these cases asToxocara canisby Nichols2emphasized the importance of this parasite in human ocular disease.

Toxocara canis meningomyelitis

Journal of Neurology, 2005
A 32-year-old woman, living in Paris, was admitted to our hospital because of ascending weakness and paresthesiae in the lower limbs, associated with dysuria. One month before admission, she had thoracic pain in the left T10 dermatome, abdominal pain and diarrhea, that resolved spontaneously within a few days.

Larval development of Toxocara canis in dogs

Veterinary Parasitology, 2011
The parasitic roundworm Toxocara canis is present in dog populations all over the world. Due to its zoonotic potential, this roundworm is of special interest not only for veterinarians, but also for medical practitioners. In the present review, current knowledge of infection routes and the subsequent development of larvae within the canine host is ...

Results of Surgery for Ocular Toxocara canis

Ophthalmology, 1981
It has been shown that the diagnosis of ocular Toxocara canis is highly accurate when the typical clinical findings are associated with a positive ELISA titer in the serum of 1:8 or greater. The inflammatory reaction in this disorder can be devastating and not infrequently leads to a tractional detachment of the posterior pole or a rhegmatogenous ...

Antibody to Toxocara canis in the Aqueous Humor

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1981
The aqueous humor and serum samples of patients with presumed ocular toxocariasis were examined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for antibody to the embryonated egg antigen. Using a single dilution (1:8), higher amounts of antibody have been found in the aqueous humor than in the serum samples.

Toxocara canisinfection and hyperactivity

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1986
An observational study using video recordings and computer assisted data analysis showed that infection with Toxocara canis larvae had a marked effect on five readily and reliably differentiable categories of murine behaviour. The infection was also associated with an increase in the number of shorter bouts of each behavior. These results indicate that

Thiabendazole for Control of Toxocara canis in the Dog

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1973
SUMMARY Prepatent Toxocara canis infections acquired in utero were effectively eliminated in dogs with the use of thiabendazole (tbz) paste. A dosage schedule of 150 mg./kg./day given from the 5th to the 20th or 25th postpartum days was 98 to 100% effective in treated pups. The same dosage given from the 5th to the 10th postpartum days or from the 10th

Computed tomography of toxocara canis endophthalmitis

Journal of Computed Tomography, 1987
Many lesions, termed pseudogliomas, may mimic the appearance of retinoblastoma, both clinically and on computed tomography. The appearance of Toxocara canis endophthalmitis on computed tomography is presented. The role of computed tomography in the evaluation of patients presenting with leukokoria is discussed.

Toxocara canis.

Journal of the American Optometric Association, 1979
Toxocara canis, commonly known as the dog ascrid, is a frequent parasite of the domestic dog. If the eggs of an adult worm are accidentally ingested by a human host, usually a child, a larval form of the worm develops that can survive for a limited period in various human tissues. The retina is one of these tissues and upon the death of this organism a

[Toxocara canis meningoradiculitis].

Revue neurologique, 2002
Various neurological pictures attributed to human toxocariasis are sparsely reported in the literature. A case of toxocaral infection presenting as meningoradiculitis is described herewith. Etiological diagnosis was oriented by the finding of an eosinophilia in the spinal fluid, then confirmed by the result of the immunodiagnosis of toxocariasis from ...
