Three young women recently returned to the metropolitan Detroit area with cutaneous larva migrans. All three had vacationed at a popular club resort on the Caribbean island of Martinique. Cutaneous larva migrans is frequently seen in the southern United States, Central and South America, and other subtropical areas but rarely in northern climates. Several organisms can cause cutaneous larva migrans, or creeping eruption. The larvae of the nematode Ancylostoma braziliense are most often the causative organisms. Travel habits of Americans make it necessary for practitioners in northern climates to be familiar with diseases contracted primarily in warmer locations. The life cycle of causative organisms and current therapy are reviewed.
最近，三名年轻女性因患皮肤幼虫移行症回到了底特律都会区。她们三人都曾在加勒比海岛马提尼克岛一个受欢迎的俱乐部度假村度假。皮肤幼虫移行症在美国南部、中美洲和南美洲以及其他亚热带地区很常见，但在北方气候地区很少见。有几种生物可导致皮肤幼虫移行症，即匐行疹。巴西钩口线虫的幼虫最常是致病生物。美国人的旅行习惯使得北方气候地区的从业者有必要熟悉主要在温暖地区感染的疾病。本文综述了致病生物的生命周期及当前的治疗方法。
