A bibliographic review was done to update and systematize information on Toxocara human infection. Transmission mechanisms, epidemiology, clinical forms, diagnostic methods and treatment are described. Its importance as an infectious cause of blindness in young people that is potentially preventible and curable by early diagnosis is emphasized. Proposal is done to establish epidemiological surveillance, improve current laws to reduce transmission risk to the general population and increase knowledge on this infection in Peru.

Objetivos: Evaluar la capacidad de absorción de anticuerpos inespecíficos de antígenos totales de adultos de Fasciola hepatica frente a los de Ascaris suum, para mejorar el serodiagnóstico de toxocarosis humana. diseño: Observacional, descriptivo Institución: Instituto de Medicina Tropical Daniel A. Carrión, Facultad de Medicina, UNMSM. Participantes: Se recolectó sueros de pacientes con toxocarosis, otras helmintiasis y de personas aparentemente sanas. Se preparó antígenos TES de Toxocara canis, de Fasciola hepatica y de Ascaris suum. Intervenciones: SDS-PAGE y western blot. Principales medidas de resultados: Los antígenos fueron analizados por SDS-PAGE y western blot y la capacidad de absorción de anticuerpos inespecíficos mediante ELISA y western blot. Resultados: Por SDS-PAGE y western blot se determinó que el extracto antigénico de F. hepatica posee bandas antigénica...

Objective: To estimate seroprevalence of human toxocariosis in Lima inhabitants. Design: Cross-sectional study, non aleatory selection. Material and methods: To people living in Lima city urban marginal communities, an interview and clinical examination were done and serum samples obtained to detect antibodies against Toxocara by ELISA technique. Stool samples were also obtained to check parasites causing cross reactions with serology. Results: From 553 persons examined 23,3% were reactive. There were no sex differences and ELISA results related to anemia, leucocytosis, eosinophilia or intestinal parasites. People older than 15 yearold had twice the possibility to be reactive. Most frequent symptom in positive individuals was decrease of visual capacity. Most frequent parasites were Blastocystis hominis, Entamoeba coli, Giardia lamblia. Conclusions: Human toxocariosis is frequent in Lima...

Objective: To determine human toxocariosis prevalence in subjects presenting suspicious ocular symptoms. Material and methods: Subjects with symptoms and suspicion of intraocular toxocariosis damage attended at various Lima hospitals ophtalmology services were studied. Blood samples were obtained and Toxocara serology by ELISA technique was done, along with leukocyte counts. An epidemiological questionnaire was also applied to identify behaviors associated to infection risk. Results: Forty-five persons were studied, 19 male and 26 female, 55,6% were reactive by ELISA test. No differences in sex and serology results were observed; among participants between 15 and 45 years old, 63% were reactive. There were no significant differences in the epidemiological factors studied. No association between eosinophilia and serology was observed. Conclusions: Human infection by Toxocara is frequent i...
