Abstract

Cutaneous larva migrans(CLM) is a creeping cutaneous eruption that results from skin invasion by the larval form of nematodes. We experienced two patients who had typical clinical findings of CLM. One patient had a history of contact with possibly contaminated fertilizer by the larva of nematotes. The other had a history of travelling to the endemic tropical areas. We report herein two cases of CLM with the literature review of the previous CLM cases in Korea. (Korean J Dermatol 2003;41(1) : 92-95)
