Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a zoonotic helminthiasis frequently imported to Canada by travellers to beach destinations in the tropics. The preferred treatment is oral ivermectin. We present a case of CLM acquired within the province of Quebec, a first in our provincial health records. Our case also puts forward the use of topical ivermectin as a possibly effective CLM treatment approach as our patient was successfully treated with 1 month of an ivermectin 1% cream applied locally twice daily.
皮肤幼虫移行症(CLM)是一种人畜共患的蠕虫病,经常由前往热带海滩目的地的旅行者带入加拿大。首选治疗方法是口服伊维菌素。我们报告了一例在魁北克省内感染的CLM病例,这在我们省的健康记录中尚属首次。我们的病例还提出了局部使用伊维菌素作为一种可能有效的CLM治疗方法,因为我们的患者通过每天两次局部涂抹1%伊维菌素乳膏,持续1个月,成功治愈。
