Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is an ectoparasitic infection mainly caused by nematodes like Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma caninum, typically found in tropical and subtropical regions.
- This study presents two cases of CLM that showcased rare follicular involvement in patients who developed skin lesions after traveling to subtropical areas, with one patient returning from Thailand and the other from Senegal.
- Histological analysis revealed nematode larvae moving through hair follicles, and skin ultrasound was used to help visualize the parasites, highlighting the importance of recognizing follicular involvement in diagnosing and understanding CLM.
