Eosinophilia occurs commonly in many diseases including allergic diseases and helminthic infections. Toxocariasis has been suggested as one cause of eosinophilia. The present study was undertaken to examine the prevalence of toxocariasis in patients with eosinophilia and to identify the risk factors for toxocariasis. This prospective cohort study recruited a total of 81 patients with eosinophilia (34 males and 47 females) who visited the outpatient clinic at Seoul National University Hospital from January 2017 to February 2018 and agreed to participate in this study. The prevalence of toxocariasis was examined by T. canis-specific ELISA, and the various risk factors for toxocariasis were evaluated by a questionnaire survey. Among 81 patients with eosinophilia, 18 were positive for anti-T. canis antibodies (22.2%); 88.9% were male (16/18) and 11.1% were female (2/18). Multivariate statistical analysis revealed that males (OR 21.876, 95% CI: 1.667-287.144) with a history of consuming the raw meat or livers of animals (OR 5.899, 95% CI: 1.004-34.669) and a heavy alcohol-drinking habit (OR 8.767, 95% CI: 1.018-75.497) were at higher risk of toxocariasis in patients with eosinophilia. Toxocariasis should be considered a potential cause of eosinophilia when the patient has a history of eating the raw meat or livers of animals in Korea. A single course of albendazole is recommended to reduce the migration of Toxocara larvae in serologically positive cases with eosinophilia.

Background: Red thrombi, composed of fibrin and trapped erythrocytes, have magnetic susceptibility effect. Susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) is visualized more sensitively using susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) than T2*-weighted imaging. Bright vessel appearance (BVA) on arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging can visualize occluded arterial segment by arterial transit artifact, more sensitively in small and peripheral branches. We investigated the usefulness of SWI-SVS with BVA to visualize different thrombus and predict stroke mechanisms. Methods: From a total of 564 stroke cases who admitted to Seoul National University Hospital in 2014, the authors collected eligible cases with the following inclusion criteria; (1) Lesion-documented ischemic stroke (N=425); (2) SWI and ASL MRI performed (N=407); (3) Symptomatic arterial occlusion with BVA (N=141). All images were analyzed for the presence and location of SWI-SVS and BVA. The location of SWI-SVS and BVA were classified into (1) proximal, large arteries; distal ICA, M1/2, A1, P1, basilar artery, V4 and (2) peripheral, small arteries; M3/4, P2/3, A2/3, lenticulostriate arteries, three cerebellar arteries. The relationships between SWI-SVS in the presence of BVA and stroke etiologies are explored. Results: Male was 58.2% (n=82) and mean age was 65.7±14.3. Thirty-four percent (n=48/141) of BVA and 30.3% (n=30/99) of SVS was located within small, peripheral arteries. SWI-SVS was more commonly associated with other determined etiology (20.2% vs. 4.8%) and cardioembolism (39.4% vs. 14.3%), but less with large artery atherosclerosis (26.3% vs. 69.0%, P <0.01) compared to the patients without SWI-SVS. Cancer-related hypercoagulability (60%, n=12/20) was most common in other determined cases with SWI-SVS. Multivariate analysis showed that SWI-SVS was an independent predictor of other determined etiology (adjusted OR, 7.20; 95% CI, 1.48-34.99) and cardioembolism (adjusted OR, 5.76; 95% CI, 1.27-26.02) Conclusions: SWI-SVS with BVA may predict ischemic stroke of cardioembolism and other determined etiology. Occlusions of small, peripheral arteries are well visualized with BVA and composition of thrombus can be identified by SWI-SVS.
