Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a helminthic zoonosis caused by hookworm larvae penetrating the skin.
  • The condition is primarily associated with larvae of Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma caninum from cats and dogs.

Observation:

  • Three cases of CLM diagnosed in Copenhagen are presented.
  • Clinical manifestations included characteristic serpiginous, erythematous tracks on the skin.
  • Diagnosis was based on clinical presentation and epidemiological history.

Findings:

  • The cases highlight the occurrence of CLM in a non-endemic urban setting.
  • Detailed descriptions of the clinical course and diagnostic challenges are provided.
  • Treatment strategies employed for these cases are discussed.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of CLM is crucial for clinicians, especially in travelers returning from endemic areas.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent secondary infections and reduce patient discomfort.
  • Understanding the pathogenesis aids in developing effective prevention and control measures for this neglected tropical disease.
