Abstract: Cutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) is an infectious dermatosis caused by nematodes parasites, which do not usually parasite men. It’s endemic in some tropical and subtropical areas and rare in industrialized countries. The authors present a case of CLM in a female child aged three, which had recently travelled to an endemic area, with typical serpiginous lesions affecting the feet. The child was treated with oral Albendazol and topical Tiabendazol with complete resolution of the complaints. The authors review the epidemiological and clinical features and summarise the therapeutic options in pediatric ages. Key-words: Cutaneous Larva Migrans, pediatrics.
