Late Presentation of Cutaneous Larva Migrans: A Case Report

Presented by:	Cases Journal / Michael Archer
Summary points:	An 18-year-old white British man presents with a 3-day history of an intensely itchy eruption on the dorsum of his right foot. The man reported recent international travel to Tanzania and Australia. Examination, diagnosis, and treatment of cutaneous larva migrans are described. The authors discuss how the lesion of cutaneous larva migrans may appear immediately, but may lie dormant for many months, leading to late presentation.
