ABSTRACT
Hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans (HrCLM) is a zoonosis which is endemic in many subtropic and tropical countries including Malaysia. We report a case of a 40-year old plantation worker who presented with a pruritic rash on his abdomen. It is important for clinicians to diagnose and treat HrCLM promptly as this condition results in considerable morbidity when treatment is delayed.
