Cercarial dermatitis, a skin infestation by nonhuman schistosomes, affects swimmers in freshwater globally, especially during summer. Prevention involves swimming in deeper waters to minimize exposure to these parasites.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Parasitology
  • Dermatology

Context:

  • Cercarial dermatitis is a worldwide public health concern.
  • Infestation occurs via skin contact with cercariae from aquatic birds, often during recreational water activities.
  • Increasing incidence reported in France during summer months.

Purpose:

  • To describe the etiology, clinical presentation, and geographical distribution of cercarial dermatitis.
  • To highlight the public health implications and preventive measures for this condition.

Summary:

  • Caused by nonhuman schistosome cercariae, commonly from aquatic birds like ducks.
  • Clinical manifestation includes a pruritic maculopapular rash appearing within 24 hours post-exposure.
  • Lesions typically resolve spontaneously within 1-3 weeks.
