Cutaneous larva migrans infection on a girl's buttock
Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) infection on the buttock of a 2 year old female patient. CLM is a parasitic skin infection caused by hookworm larvae that usually infest cats, dogs and other animals. They penetrate the skin, typically through direct contact with contaminated soil or sand. The most common hookworm species associated with CLM are Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma caninum. Once the larvae penetrate the skin, they migrate through the epidermis causing an itchy rash to develop. CLM is commonly seen in tropical regions, where the climate supports the survival of hookworm larvae in the environment. This case occurred following a holiday to Barbados. Treatment involves the use of antiparasitic medication. Topical corticosteroids or antihistamines may also be prescribed to relieve itching and inflammation. For another image of this patient with this condition see SPL code C059/5002.
