Cutaneous Larva Migrans

Abstract

Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a helminthic infection found in tropical areas. It is commonly seen in patients in contact with soil contaminated by cat and dog hookworm larvae. CLM manifests as an erythematous, serpiginous, and pruritic cutaneous eruption. We present a case of a 27-year-old female with a serpiginous lesion on the plantar surface of the right foot.The patient was prescribed Albendazole at 400 mg twice a day for three days. After treatment, the lesion and pruritus have decreased in severity.Hookworm-related CLM is diagnosed clinically based on the typical clinical presentation. Clinicians need to be aware of the possibility of hookworm-related CLM with a history of travel to tropical areas, especially walking barefoot.
