Abstract
Ocular toxocariasis is rare and therefore the spectrum of clinical dis ease is difficult to establish. We present a review of the clinical fe atures and laboratory findings in a group of patients with positive To xocara serology and ocular toxocariasis. The clinical spectrum was div erse and milder disease was commoner than might be supposed from revie ws of the literature. Eosinophilia was unusual, but featured in two ca ses of unilateral pars planitis.
