Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a rare serpiginous cutaneous eruption caused by accidental penetration and migration in the skin with infective larvae of nematode that normally do not have the human as their host. Although CLM has a worldwide distribution, the infection is most frequent in warmer climates. More recently, they have been increasingly imported from the tropics or subtropics by travelers. We experienced two patients who had pruritic serpiginous linear eruption in their skin for a few weeks after traveling to the endemic areas (Brazil and Thailand, respectively). After the treatment with albendazole, the skin lesions resolved with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. We report herein two cases of cutaneous larva migrans successfully treated with albendazole.
皮肤幼虫移行症（CLM）是一种罕见的匐行性皮肤疹，由线虫感染性幼虫意外侵入皮肤并在其中移行引起，这些线虫通常不以人类为宿主。尽管CLM在全球范围内均有分布，但在温暖气候地区感染最为常见。最近，旅行者从热带或亚热带地区带回这种感染的情况越来越多。我们遇到了两名患者，他们分别在前往流行地区（巴西和泰国）旅行几周后，皮肤出现瘙痒性匐行性线状疹。经阿苯达唑治疗后，皮肤病变消退，遗留炎症后色素沉着。我们在此报告两例成功用阿苯达唑治疗的皮肤幼虫移行症病例。
