[Cutaneous larva migrans syndrome on a malformed foot (a case report)].
Cutaneous larva migrans syndrome is a subcutaneous dermatitis caused by hookworms' larvae, originating from animals in parasitic impasse in humans. Transcutaneous infestation is favored by contact with contaminated soil. We report the case of a 15-month-old child, native of Guinea - Bissau, suffering from cutaneous larva migrans syndrome on a malformed foot. This malformation in the form of a syndactyly, associated with a tumefaction of the foot cause a delay in the standing position. Besides, the fact that the child never wears shoes because of the sick foot is another factor contributing to the patient's infestation by the larvae of the nematode.
