Peripheral retinal cysts in presumed ocular toxocariasis
Typical clinical manifestations of ocular toxocariasis are central posterior granuloma, peripheral granuloma and chronic endophthalmitis. Herein we report the presence of peripheral subretinal cysts in two cases with a presumed ocular toxocariasis (OT).

Human toxocariasis is a zoonotic infection which characteristically presents either as visceral or ocular disease. Some patients are asymptomatic. The real incidence of symptomatic infection and its natural history, and the likelihood of congenital infection, are unknown. Collaboration between clinicians, epidemiologists and microbiologists should help

Toxocariasis Mimicking Lymphoma and Presenting as Multiple Lymphadenopathy: A Case Report
Toxocariasis, a parasitic infection, causes hyper eosinophilia resulting in radiological presentation of eosinophilic infiltrations in the involved organs. In the abdomen, toxocariasis has been reported to manifest as infiltrations in the liver or in the

Molecular characterization of a cDNA encoding an excretory–secretory antigen from Toxocara canis second stage larvae and its application to the immunodiagnosis of human toxocariasis [PDF]
The cDNA encoding an excretory–secretory antigen from the second stage larvae of Toxocara canis has been characterized. Sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame encoding a protein of 226 amino acid residues (Mr=24 398). Sequence database searches
