Sera form 68 patients aged 1–30 years, suffering from posterior pole granuloma, peripheral granuloma, uveitis, endophthalmitis, optic neuritis and with a clinical diagnosis of suspected ocular toxocariasis, were tested for the presence of anti-Toxocara antibodies. Antibodies to Toxocara were detected in 11 (17 per cent) subjects less than 15 years old and three (4 per cent) subjects more than 15 years of age using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. None of the controls sera (other helminthic diseases) were positive for anti-Toxocara antibody.
