Larva migrans visceral: relato de três casos

We report three cases of children with visceral larva migrans confirmed by enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay (ELISA), in Goiânia, Pulmonary interstitial infiltrates with dry cough and peripheral eosinophilia characterised the first case. Clinical and laboratorial finding in the second case included dry cougn, pulmonary infiltrates, peripheral eosinophilia and hypergammaglobulinaemia. A persistent eosino-philia, between 1987-1989, without apparent cause led to the confirmation of parasite infection in the third case.
