Human Neural Larva Migrans Caused by Ophidascaris Robertsi Ascarid
- aflukasz 3y agoAbstract: "We describe a case in Australia of human neural larva migrans caused by the ascarid Ophidascaris robertsi, for which Australian carpet pythons are definitive hosts. We made the diagnosis after a live nematode was removed from the brain of a 64-year-old woman who was immunosuppressed for a hypereosinophilic syndrome diagnosed 12 months earlier."
