ABSTRACT
Human toxocariasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larva of toxocara canis or cati. It is one of the most commonly reported zoonotic helminth infection in the world. Human are infected mainly by the accidental ingestion of embryonated eggs due to the pica, geophagia, the consumption of contaminated raw vegetables and poor personal hygiene particularly in childhood. In adults, the consumption of raw meat from potential paratenic hosts e.g. chickens, lambs, rabbits and dogs is a major cause of human toxocariasis. The larva can reach various organs such as the liver, lung, brain, and eye by the hematogenous spread and cause visceral larva migrans We experience a case of pulmonary infiltration with eosinophilia by visceral larva migrans after eating the raw liver and kidney of a dog.
