Larva Migrans Cutanée: 3 cas de localisation au front
Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 0
Abstract
Cutaneous Larva migrans, known as creeping dermatitis, is a parasitic disease caused by an hookworm larvae in a dead end in moist soil. It is a very common condition in tropical countries, especially among children playing in sand and among travelers. The body contact with soil contaminated with larvae in certain religious practices may expose individuals to contamination. We report three cases of CML at the forehead in three Muslim religious practitioners. Contamination was made by contact with dirty soil in unfenced mosques during overwintering. The presence of stray cats was confirmed by the 3 patients. Treatment with albendazole resulted in complete healing.
