초록

저자들은 수년 전부터 정기적으로 다량의 소의 육회, 간, 천엽을 생식하는 51세 여자 환자에서 내장 유충 이행증과 안구 유충 이행증이 병발하여 알벤다졸과 스테로이드 치료로 후유증 없이 호전된 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Toxocariasis is an infection in a human host caused by Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati larvae. Clinical manifestations are classified according to the organs affected, such as visceral larva migrans (VLM) and ocular larva migrans (OLM). Epidemiological evidence suggests that OLM tends to occur in the absence of systemic involvement and vice versa, which has led to two manifestations of this infection being reclassified as VLM and OLM. No case of a patient with VLM combined with OLM has been reported in Korea. Here, we report a case of VLM combined with OLM in a 51-year-old female caused by massive ingestion of raw cow meat, manyplies, and liver.
