Abstract

Cutaneous larva migrans is a disease caused by nematode larvae found in cat and/or dog feces and it is transmitted to humans when walking barefoot in contaminated ground. Human beings are only accidental hosts of this parasite, so the disease is self-limiting, although it is necessary to treat the infection in order to relieve the itching and cutaneous alterations that may develop. Lesions are more often found in feet. Diagnosis is essentially clinic and the treatment commonly applied is ivermectin oral monodose. Preventive measures are called for and physicians and podologists should be in charge of implementing them.
