Abstract:

 


Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a parasitic
infection that is especially transmitted from soils contaminated with hook worm
originating from cats and dogs, hence lesions are seen in lower extremity. In
this report we present a case infected in Kocaeli, Turkey; while he walked barefoot
in a stream.  In cases with foot involvement
with serpiginous lesions and not responding to routine treatment, CLM must be
considered in differential diagnosis.

Kutanöz larva migrans (KLM), özellikle kedilerden ve köpeklerden kaynaklanan kancalı solucanla kirlenmiş topraklardan bulaşan parazitik bir enfeksiyondur ve bu nedenle lezyonlar alt ekstremitede görülür. Bu yazıda derede yalınayak yürürken Sakarya, Türkiye'de enfekte olmuş bir vaka sunulmaktadır. Serpiginöz lezyonlarla ayak tutulumu olan ve rutin tedaviye cevap vermeyen olgularda ayırıcı tanıda KLM mutlaka düşünülmelidir.
