Human toxocariasis, a parasitic infection, can cause rare neurological issues like meningoradiculitis. Diagnosis involves identifying eosinophils in spinal fluid and confirming toxocariasis via immunodiagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Human toxocariasis is a zoonotic parasitic infection with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • Neurological complications of toxocariasis are infrequently documented in medical literature.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of toxocaral infection presenting as meningoradiculitis, a form of inflammation affecting the meninges and nerve roots.
  • The patient exhibited specific neurological symptoms indicative of this condition.

Findings:

  • Eosinophilia, an increase in eosinophils, was observed in the patient's cerebrospinal fluid (spinal fluid).
  • Immunodiagnostic testing for toxocariasis, performed on both serum and cerebrospinal fluid samples, confirmed the etiological diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering toxocariasis in the differential diagnosis of unexplained meningoradiculitis, especially when accompanied by cerebrospinal fluid eosinophilia.
  • Accurate etiological diagnosis through immunodiagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management and understanding the neurological spectrum of human toxocariasis.
