Core Tip	This is a retrospective study to evaluate the clinical characteristics and progression of liver abscess caused by toxocara. Eating uncooked food was a more common route of infection than contact with pet animals. Alcohol consumption, sex (male), and ingestion of raw meat or liver were considered to be significant risk factors for toxocariasis. Patients can present with no specific symptoms, eosinophilia, and/or increased levels of serum IgE. Liver abscess caused by toxocara has characteristic radiologic findings. Even if a few patients experience relapse or migration of abscess posttreatment, a good prognosis exists for the overall clinical course.
