Article Synopsis
- * Out of the participants, 14.2% tested positive for T. canis antibodies, with common symptoms being itching (10.1%) and abdominal pain (8.2%); high eosinophil counts were also observed.

Background: Children are especially vulnerable to Toxocara infection and its severe complications; however, there have not been any published data on the disease prevalence and treatment effectiveness in the population of Vietnamese children. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of toxocariasis and explore factors associated with Toxocara infection in children aged 3-15 y in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a multistage cluster sampling approach in public schools.
