A 27-year-old female primatologist returned from a trip to Peru with painful swellings on the right jaw, the mandible and at the axillary gland. Later on her right upper arm and forearm showed big, painful swellings with reddish stripes, while the former swellings gradually disappeared. Finally the back of the right hand, the right forefinger and the left forearm showed the same swellings. Diagnosis was established by the evidence of special antibodies against Gnathostoma spinigerum. Two courses of a 4-week treatment with albendazole cured the patient.
