Capillaria hepatica, causative agent of hepatic capillariasis , accidentally infects humans and is a parasite of mammalian liver, primarily rodents. The non–specific nature of clinical symptoms, often complicates the diagnosis, which can only be confirmed through liver biopsy. This paper is written with an objective to report a new case of pediatric hepatic capillariasis as a rare differential for peripheral eosinophilia, fever and hepatomegaly.
