ABSTRACT
A 24-year -old woman 2-3 months after a normal parturation presented geophagy. Due to hypermenorrhea she consulted a gynecologist and in a hemogram a 57 percent (6, 893 x mm3) hypereosinophilia was detected. A chest TAC showed bilateral pulmonary nodules. The following tests resulted positive ELISA IgG for toxocariasis 1 1000, isohemagglutinins anti A 12048 and anti B 1512. The patient was treated with albendazole and prednisone during 10 days. One month after treatment eosinophilia decreased to 2.590 x mm3 and ELISA IgG for toxocariasis descended to 1128. Different aspect of human toxocariasis are commented. When hypereosinophia is observed in adult patients, toxocariasis must be checked
