Liver abscess in human toxocariasis

Abstract

Liver abscess formation is a rare condition associated with Toxocara infection. It is still a matter of debate whether liver abscess resulsts from severe parasitic infection or whether human toxocariasis is a predisposing cause of pyogenic liver abscess formation.

Liver resection is the only treatment option when sepsis fails to respond to conservative treatment.
