Diagnosing toxocariasis can be challenging due to its nonspecific symptoms. A clinical diagnosis is often supported by a combination of patient history, physical examination, and specific tests. The most common diagnostic tests include:
Serological tests: Detecting antibodies against Toxocara larvae. Imaging studies: Such as ultrasound, CT, or MRI to identify lesions caused by migrating larvae. Ophthalmologic examination: To identify larvae in the eye in cases of OLM.
