Unusual presentations of cutaneous larva migrans in British military personnel

Cutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) may not be easy to diagnose: a case report and narrative review

BACKGROUND

Cutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) is one of the most common zoonotic dermatoses in subtropical and tropical regions and some European countries. It is caused by different types of hookworm, such as Ancylostoma braziliense, Ancylostoma caninum, and Uncinaria stenocephala. It is usually easy to diagnose, but the atypical presentation may occasionally mimic other dermatoses.

CASE REPORT

A 32-year-old man presented with an extensive eczematous rash that developed during a recent vacation in Thailand. He didn't respond to antihistamines and systemic steroids. Finally, he was diagnosed with an atypical presentation of CLM and treated successfully with anthelminthic therapy.

CONCLUSION

The report of an atypical presentation of CLM is crucial to increase awareness among healthcare workers, helping in early diagnosis and reducing potential psychological distress that patients may face.
