Abstract
Tungiasis is a cutaneous infestation caused by the gravid female sand flea, Tunga penetrans. We describe 2 cases of tungiasis that occurred in siblings who recently emigrated as international adoptees from Liberia to the United States. Both patients had infectious complications as a result of the infestation with T penetrans. (J Pediatr 2001;139:744–6)
