Abstract: Prevalence of ocular lesions in children seropositive to Toxocara canisIntraocular invasion by Toxocara canis is one of the most commonly recognized etiologies of uveitis and blindness in children. In order to estimate the prevalence of ocular lesions caused by toxocariasis in a pediatric referral hospital, we conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical charts of all children seropositive to Toxocara canis, who also had an eye exam between the years 2005 and 2009 at the Calvo Mackenna Children´s Hospital in… Show more

The clinical manifestations include disturbed vision, ablatio of the macula, and heterotopia [103, [172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182][183][184]. Children can also develop leukocoria, strabismus, photophobia, eye pain, or eye redness [37].…”

La neurotoxocariasis es menos frecuente y sus manifestaciones incluyen eventos de meningitis y encefalitis.…”
