[Cerebral vasculitis secondary to Toxocara canis and Fasciola hepatica co-infestation]
Abstract
Neurological complications of cosmopolitan parasitosis are rare. We report a case of a cerebral and systemic vasculitis secondary to a visceral larva migrans syndrome associated with a Toxocara canis and Fasciola hepatica co-infestation.
