Autochthonous and persistent cutaneous larva migrans in an infant successfully treated by topic albendazole ointment

Abstract

Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a skin infestation clinically characterized by erythematous, serpiginous and pruriginous lesions caused by accidental percutaneous penetration and migration of animal hookworm larvae. This zoonotic dermatitis is endemic in tropical countries. In Western Europe, cases are usually seen in returning travelers and cases acquired locally remain rare. Herein we report a case of CLM contracted in France by a 10‐month‐old infant, successfully treated by albendazole ointment after 6 months of evolution. This case emphasizes the fact that Western physicians do not have sufficient knowledge of this dermatitis.
