Abstract
Larva migrans is a rare cutaneous parasitic infestation, whose incidence in Israel has increased over the past few years. This is mainly due to the growing number of Israelis traveling to the Far East and to Central and South America. We present 4 such cases. The treatment of choice for this parasite is thiabendazole, an imidazole with anthelminthic properties.
