Abstract
We describe a case of visceral larva migrans syndrome complicated by liver abscess, pericardial effusion acid ascites. To our knowledge, these finding s have not been reported previously. The structural and imunological altera tions caused by, viseral larva migrans are thought to lead to the developme nt of visceral abscesses.
