摘要: This study aims to evaluate the seroprevalence and risk factors for Toxocara canis infection in children (2–15 years old) referred health centers of Lorestan province, Iran. cross-sectional was performed from August 2016 March 2017 on 316 children. All serum samples were tested using commercially available anti IgG-Toxocara kit (IBL, Germany) according manufacturer's instructions. Of children, 14 (4.4%) seropositive anti-T.canis IgG antibody. The variables used association between status anti-T. antibodies age, gender, area residence, eosinophilia, contact with dogs, consumption raw or unwashed vegetables fruits. Risk that significantly related T. seropositivity included living rural regions (p = 0.018) dogs (p = 0.001). However, other demographic did not demonstrate any seropositivity. To conclude, we found is prevalent among Iran an overall rate 4.4%. These findings may be a warning pay special attention toxocariasis design screening programs its prevention.
