Background: Eosinophilic meningitis caused by Toxocara canis comes from neural larva migrans. It is a rare disease associated with toxocariasis. Case Report: We report a 39-year-old man who was admitted with febrile sensation, headache, and myalgia for 10 days. He had peripheral blood eosinophilia with eosinophilic meningitis. Abdominal and chest CT revealed multiple nodular infiltrations in the liver and lung. Serological test revealed that he was positive for Toxocara canis. After oral administration of steroids and albendazole, his symptoms were improved. Conclusion:We report a case of eosinophilic meningitis associated with toxocariasis.
