[Are sandflea infections increasing?].
A report on two cases is given. The patients showed the typical skin affections after trips to Africa. Tungiasis occasionally leads to secondary infections and may be the cause of longterm inflammation or erysipelas. Treatment is discussed and a possible increase of tungiasis because of an increase of tourists to tropical countries is pointed out.
