ABSTRACT
Human toxocariasis is defined as the infection of a human host by the larval stages of Toxocara canis, a common intestinal parasite of dogs. We experienced a patient with hypereosinophilic syndrome involving liver and stomach caused by human toxocariasis. The diagnosis of toxocariasis was confirmed by detecting serum specific IgE antibody to Toxocara excretory-secretory antigens (TES-Ag) by ELISA and IgG immunoblot analysis, with high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of toxocariasis. Toxocariasis should be considered one of the causative diseases inducing hypereosinophilic syndrome in this country.
