[A case of cutaneous larva migrans in general practice].
Creeping eruptions are caused by the presence of larvae of certain nematodes in human skin. The disease is found in tropical and subtropical regions and therefore of great interest to travellers as well as to physicians examining people returning from these countries. The diagnosis of creeping eruption is relatively simple because of the characteristic clinical picture. Early lesions, however, may resemble a variety of other skin conditions. This paper deals with a case of creeping eruption in an European patient who consulted me in my general practice in southern Germany.
