[Cutaneous larva migrans in travelers].
Med Clin (Barc). 1992 Feb 15; 98(6):224-6.MC

Abstract

Fifteen cases of cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) diagnosed in transcontinental travellers over a period of 4 years in the Department of Tropical Medicine in Hospital Clinic i Provincial of Barcelona were reviewed. The frequency of this disease as an imported pathology is on the increase and is related to the greater mobility of travellers today. Tourism is the main motive of the traveller and the geographic origin of the cases is cosmopolitan. The use of open footwear in 14 of the 15 patients is pointed out. The single lesion on the foot was the most frequent site. Thiabendazole was effective in 14 patients as was albendazole used in one patient. The secondary effects of thiabendazole, principally gastrointestinal disorders, headache, and dizziness are underlined.
