Abstract

Tungiasis is an inflammation of the skin caused by infestation of a fertilised female sand flea, Tunga penetrans. Two patients who contracted this skin disease in the tropics (Surinam and Kenya-Uganda) are described. Because of the increase of international travelling, import diseases are seen more often. If the disease is known, it is easy to diagnose and to treat tungiasis.

摘要

潜蚤病是由受精的雌性沙蚤（穿皮潜蚤）寄生引起的皮肤炎症。本文描述了两名在热带地区（苏里南和肯尼亚-乌干达）感染这种皮肤病的患者。由于国际旅行的增加，输入性疾病更为常见。如果了解这种疾病，潜蚤病很容易诊断和治疗。
