Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a zoonotic skin disorder caused by the infestation of animal hookworm larvae, the most common being Ancylostoma braziliense. The larvae penetrate the skin surface and subsequently migrate to the epidermis, leaving a typical manifestation of linear or serpiginous erythematous burrow-like tracks, known as creeping eruption. This report presented a case of a young man with complaints of the serpiginous erupted lesion over the upper left thigh, following a recent history of beach travel. On dermatological examination, an erythematous serpiginous lesion and papules were found, portraying the clinical presentation of CLM. The administration of albendazole 400 mg was started, and the symptoms were completely resolved. Keywords: larva migrans, skin disease, creeping eruption, nematodes, albendazole.

Although cutaneous larva migrans is more commonly seen in the southeastern US and tropical regions of the world, patients with such parasitic involvement may present in other non-endemic areas for various reasons, particularly travelers returning from tropical vacations. Awareness of the clinical presentation and symptomatology of cutaneous larva migrans is important for all physicians, including those practicing in northern climates, for prompt recognition and effective treatment of the disease. Furthermore, cutaneous larva migrans should be of particular interest to podiatrists, because the infestation commonly involves the feet, and a patient may initially present for treatment of secondary manifestations, ie, dermatitis, pruritus, or infection, as in this case report.

AbstractIntroduction. Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM), commonly called creeping eruption, is a parasitic skin disorder caused by the invasion of larva to the skin. This disease classically presents as serpiginous lesions. Larva frequently originates from fecal material of cats and dogs. The pruritus is usually intense and if not treated might disrupt activity, lead to secondary infection, and extend to other regions. Oral and topical antihelminthic agents are the first-line treatment with excellent clinical response. However, they are not always readily available, as is it the case in our region. We attempt to tackle this limitation by formulating an office-made albendazole cream. This report shows the clinical efficacy of our regimen in three cases of CLM.Case Report. We report three cases of CLM diagnosed through history taking and clinical presentation. All cases were treated with topical office-made albendazole as requested by the patients and due to resource limitation. The topical preparation was made by dissolving 400 mg albendazole tablet into sterile water and mixing it with Vaseline to form 4% cream. Three times daily application for seven days led to excellent clinical response.Conclusion. Our 4% office-made albendazole cream was shown to be effective in treating CLM. Thus, this simple and practical preparation may serve as an alternative treatment for CLM.

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation

Oral ulceration is a common condition that can affect the oral mucosa, and patients often present in both primary and secondary care. There are a number of causes of oral ulceration, ranging from trauma to malignancy. The cause of the oral ulceration can be difficult to establish, especially when the history and investigations do not support an obvious cause. We report a case of a 19-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of worsening oral ulceration. Despite further questioning and investigations, the cause of the oral ulceration remained elusive. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To understand the clinical presentation and causes of oral ulceration.
