Résumé |
Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) also termed as “creeping eruption,” is a parasitic infestation produced by burrowing of the larva of Ancylostoma braziliense. The larva enters intact or abraded skin following exposure with soil contaminated with faeces. Solitary tracts involving feet, hands, buttocks, and genitalia are usually encountered. Although CLM is an endemic tropical disease, in this era of global migration, physicians worldwide should promptly diagnose and treat the condition.
