Abstract

Human toxocariasis is a cosmopolite parasitic infection due to an helminth Toxocara canis (T.canis) and Toxocara catis(T.catis). Visceral larva migrans constitutes a rare and doubtful form. We reported the case of a visceral larva migrans with a concomitant localization in lung and liver.
