		The majority of toxocariasis cases in humans is asymptomatic even in the foci with a high soil contamination.
		A new classification of clinical toxocariasis was proposed, including incomplete larva migrans syndrome and neurotoxocariasis and an up-dated definition of covert toxocariasis.
		Considering the risk of ocular toxocariasis in non-intensive invasions one course of treatment with albendazole is suggested in every case of infection, even asymptomatic.

		Toxocariasis is an infection caused by worms commonly found in the intestines of puppies and older dogs (Toxocara canis), and cats (Toxocara cati).
		The severity of a toxocariasis infection depends on the number of worm eggs swallowed and the severity of the reaction to them.
		Children are most likely to develop toxocariasis, especially children aged 2-7 years.
