Mean age of patients was 37.2 (SD 18.3) years and 47 (54.0%) were male. Most patients (82, 94.3%) were migrants, and five (5.8%) patients were travellers. Only 20 (23.0%) patients reported having symptoms, with gastrointestinal disturbances being the most common (11, 12.6%). Eosinophilia was present in 64 (74.4%) patients and elevated IgE (58, 84.0%) was common. Co\u2010infections were observed in 26 (29.9%) patients. Of patients that received treatment, most were given albendazole (79, 96.3%).
