RESUMO

Background: Cutaneous larva migrans is a tropical infectious disease that is usually acquired from contact with soil contaminated with larvae of nonhuman hookworms or Strongy-loides usually from faeces of dogs and cats. Aim: To report a case of a boy who presented with pruritic migratory serpiginous skin lesions. Case report: An eleven year old boy with a linear skin lesion was initially misdiagnosed as having an allergy at a private clinic. There was a history of playing regular football in a field contaminated by dog's urine and faeces. Later it was highly suspected that he had cutaneous larva migrans. He responded to treatment with albendazole. Conclusion: Physicians should be aware that such infestations are endemic in Nigeria and should be familiar with the typical features
