ALCAIN, M et al. CUTANEOUS LARVA MIGRANS. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2018, vol.99, n.4, pp.72-77. ISSN 1851-300X.

Cutaneous larva migrans is an endemic parasitosis most commonly found in warm-humid areas, tipically of tropical and subtropical climates. Characterized by serpiginous and pruritic skin lesions, it is usually caused by Ancylostomabraziliense. We present the case of an 18 year-old female patient with no history of endemic exposure and atypical bullous clinical lesions. Full recovery is achieved after the treatment.
