Abstract:
We describe a case of visceral larva migrans syndrome complicated by liver abscess, pericardial effusion and ascites. To our knowledge, these findings have not been reported previously. The structural and immunological alterations caused by visceral larva migrans are thought to lead to the development of visceral abscesses.
