Highlights

hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans (HrCLM) was first described in 1874 by Lee who named this dermatitis as a “creeping eruption” [2]

The therapy of HrCLM is currently based on cryotherapy [15], topical drugs, and oral drugs

Summary

Introduction

HrCLM was first described in 1874 by Lee who named this dermatitis as a “creeping eruption” [2]. In 1928, White and Dove [5] demonstrated that third stage Ancylostoma braziliense larvae were responsible for the disease. In 1929, the same authors [6] demonstrated that Ancylostoma caninum larvae could cause creeping eruption. HrCLM has been referred to in numerous ways, such as dermatite linéaire rampante, epidermitis linearis migrans, ground itch, larbish, sandworm eruption, and sandworm disease as well as water dermatitis.
