Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM), a traveler

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Context:

  • Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a common skin disease acquired by travelers.
  • The condition is caused by the larvae of nonhuman hookworms.
  • This study reviews 34 cases diagnosed between 1991 and 2002.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes of CLM.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of ivermectin, thiabendazole, and albendazole for CLM treatment.

Summary:

  • Most CLM infestations occurred on the feet.
  • Ivermectin showed a 33.3% failure rate.
  • Thiabendazole was effective in 85.7% of cases but caused side effects in 57.1%.
  • Albendazole was effective in 84.6% of cases, suggesting longer treatment durations may be beneficial.

Impact:

  • Provides insights into the efficacy of different antiparasitic drugs for CLM.
  • Highlights potential limitations of standard albendazole treatment durations.
  • Informs clinical decision-making for managing cutaneous larva migrans in travelers.
