Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM), also known as creeping eruption, is an uncommon parasitic skin infection.
  • It is caused by the filariform larvae of hookworms, typically from dogs or cats.

Observation:

  • A case of CLM is reported on the anterior abdominal wall.
  • The affected individual is a 52-year-old female with gardening as a hobby.

Findings:

  • The report details a specific presentation of CLM in an adult female.
  • The anterior abdominal wall was the site of infection, potentially linked to environmental exposure during gardening.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known clinical presentations and locations of cutaneous larva migrans.
