A Rare Cause of Peripheral Vascular Thrombosis: Hypereosinophilia Caused by Toxocara canis Infection / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Hypereosinophilia is often associated with eosinphilic infiltration of tissue, which can lead to severe and irreversible organ damage. One of the most characteristic and critical complications is development of thrombosis in cardiac ventricles, and occasionally in deep veins. We report a rare case of hypereosinophilia, with peripheral vascular thrombosis, caused by Toxocara canis infection.
