ABSTRACT

Cutaneous Larva migrans is a clinic term used to design a dermatosis of lineal and serpiginous character, produced most frequently by Ancylostoma braziliense. We can find it in Central and South America, South of United States, predominates in wet, tropical and subtropical places. In some cases may be associated with eosinophilia and pulmonary infiltrates (Löeffler’s syndrome).
