Rhinitis (common cold) is an inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane or lining. Depending on the host response and the etiologic agent, variable fever, increased mucous secretions, in-flammatory edema of the nasal mucosa, sneezing, and watery eyes characterize rhinitis. With rare exceptions, viruses cause rhinitis.

Serologic diagnosis has proven effective, particularly in ocular larval migrans (OLM). Aqueous humor elevated antibody titer specific for Toxocara spp., in comparison to serum levels, is con-sidered diagnostic. Although serologic analysis can be useful, it is important to note that antibo-dy titers may vary, depending on the location of the infection. A serum titer of 1:8 is considered significant for OLM; 1:32 is significant for visceral (tissue) larval migrans (VLM).
