Abstract
Visceral Larva Migrans (VLM), a syn drome occurring mainly in young children, is characterized not only by chronic eosino philia, hepatomegaly, hyperglobulinemia, but at times by involvements of lung, eye, central nervous system, heart, skin or other organs as a consequence of local larval mi grations. That Toxocaral infection is the most usual cause is now well established.Keywords
