| description | The toxocariasis is one of the most common zoonoses worldwide mainly caused by Toxocara canis, occurs most often in children associated with unfavorable conditions of hygiene, overcrowding, living with dogs parasitized, low socioeconomic status, bad geographic location and within environment in which animals deposit their feces, becoming a major source of contamination for humans. These parasites enter in the human beings accidentally, by direct contact or food contamination with dog feces.The parasite load is of vital importance as it is directly related to the severity of the disease, with different syndromes that occur and with the immune response discharged by the body, given the life cycle wich takes place within the human organism. This disease cannot be diagnosed by coproparasitological techniques, by which is required other methods such as the leukocyte with eosinophilia increase detection, also the ELISA proof and in some cases by biopsys. |

This disease cannot be diagnosed by coproparasitological techniques, by which is required other methods such as the leukocyte with eosinophilia increase detection, also the ELISA proof and in some cases by biopsys. La toxocariasis, causada principalmente por Toxocara canis, es una de las zoonosis más comunes a nivel mundial, se presenta con mayor frecuencia en niños, asociada a condiciones desfavorables de higiene, hacinamiento, convivencia con perros parasitados, el nivel socioeconómico, la ubicación geográfica y los entornos en los cuales los animales depositan sus heces, lo que se convierte en un gran foco de contaminación para los humanos. El Toxocara canis ingresa al ser humano por contacto directo con heces de perro o por contaminación de alimentos. La carga parasitaria es de vital importancia, ya que está relacionada directamente con la gravedad de la enfermedad, con los diferentes síndromes que se producen y con la respuesta inmune desencadenada por el organismo, teniendo en cuenta el ciclo de vida que se lleva a cabo en el organismo humano. Para esta enfermedad no se puede realizar un diagnóstico por técnicas coproparasitológicas, por lo cual es necesario utilizar otros métodos, como el aumento de leucocitos con presencia de eosinofilia, la prueba de ELISA y, en algunos casos, por medio de biopsias.
