Pruritic, Bizarre Tracks- A Vacation Souvenir

Introduction

Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is an endemic parasitic disease in tropical and subtropical regions. However, cases acquired in other temperate climates, i. e. during holidays in the Mediterranean Basin, have been reported recently. Moreover, the number of autochthonous cases of CLM in non-endemic Europe is progressively increasing (Gutiérrez García-Rodrigo C et al., J Eur Acad Dermatology Venereol 2017; 31(1): e33–e35). Here we report the clinical findings of imported CLM in a teenager returning from a youth camp. The case highlights the methods of prevention and control of this emerging infection in returning travelers.
