Background:
Visceral larva migrans may present with systemic symptoms such as fever, hepatomegaly, pneumonitis or ocular symptoms.
Case Characteristics:
A 7-year-old girl with fever, pain abdomen and persistent eosinophilia. Imaging and histopathology were suggestive of visceral larva migrans.
Message:
The diagnosis of visceral larva migrans is often delayed since similar symptoms of fever, hepatomegaly and peripheral eosinophilia occur in more common and identifiable tropical parasitic and non-parasitic diseases.
