What Happens When People Have Toxocariasis?
Most people with toxocariasis have no symptoms. If symptoms occur, they may include fever, cough or wheezing, and seizures. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, enlarged liver or spleen, loss of appetite, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes*. Toxocariasis can also affect the eyes and cause decreased vision, swelling around the eyes, and a cross-eyed appearance.
