%X we present the case of a 4.5 years old boy with atypic toxocariasis, from la matanza, morropon, piura. the patient had non-specific symptoms during 9 days. suspicion of toxocariasis was supported by marked eosinophilia in the cell blood count (15% or 1470 cells/¦̀l). diagnosis was confirmed by laboratory with elisa serology demonstrating the presence of igg and igm anti-toxocara antibodies. symptoms receded before the patient received a five-day treatment with albendazol 15mg/kg/day.
