Resumo: | Cutaneous larva migrans is one of the most frequent dermatoses among travelers returning from the tro- pics. Ancylostoma braziliense, a larva that resides in the intestines of infected dogs and cats, is the most frequent agent of the disease. Humans are affected when they contact with contaminated soil. We present the case of a Portuguese 39-year-old teacher that after returning from vacation in northeastern Brazil, deve- loped a skin eruption localized to the 4th interdigital fold and adjacent portion of the dorsum of the feet, consisting of multiple erythematous, pruritic and serpiginous cutaneous trails, suggestive of cutaneous larva migrans. Complete cure was achieved after Albendazole therapy. Due to the increased frequency of migration flows, tropical dermatoses may become more common in temperate coun- tries. We emphasize the importance of tourists counseling and the use of protective footwear to prevent this disease. KEYWORDS – Larva migrans; Ancylostoma; Skin. |

CUTANEOUS LARVA MIGRANS – A CASE REPORTLARVA MIGRANS CUTÂNEA – A PROPÓSITO DE UM CASO CLÍNICOCutaneous larva migrans is one of the most frequent dermatoses among travelers returning from the tro- pics. Ancylostoma braziliense, a larva that resides in the intestines of infected dogs and cats, is the most frequent agent of the disease. Humans are affected when they contact with contaminated soil. We present the case of a Portuguese 39-year-old teacher that after returning from vacation in northeastern Brazil, deve- loped a skin eruption localized to the 4th interdigital fold and adjacent portion of the dorsum of the feet, consisting of multiple erythematous, pruritic and serpiginous cutaneous trails, suggestive of cutaneous larva migrans. Complete cure was achieved after Albendazole therapy. Due to the increased frequency of migration flows, tropical dermatoses may become more common in temperate coun- tries. We emphasize the importance of tourists counseling and the use of protective footwear to prevent this disease. KEYWORDS – Larva migrans; Ancylostoma; Skin. A larva migrans cutânea representa uma das dermatoses mais frequentes nos turistas que regressam de paí- ses tropicais e sub-tropicais. O agente mais frequente é a larva Ancylostoma brasiliensis que habita no intestino de cães e gatos. Os humanos são afetados quando contatam com solo contaminado com os excrementos de animais infetados. Apresentamos o caso de uma professora, 39 anos de idade, natural e residente em Portugal que, após regressar de férias no Nordeste do Brasil, refere dermatose localizada à 4a prega interdigital e porção adjacente do dorso dos pés, constituída por várias lesões eritematosas, pruriginosas, de trajecto serpiginoso, compatíveis com larva migrans cutânea. O quadro regrediu após terapêutica com Albendazol. Devido à maior frequência de fluxos migratórios na atualidade, as dermatoses tropicais podem tornar-se mais fre- quentes nos países de clima temperado. Salienta-se a importância do aconselhamento dos turistas para a prevenção desta dermatose, nomeadamente através do uso de calçado protetor.
