Popis: Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) also known as “creeping eruption” is a parasitic zoonotic disease caused by the larval invasion and migration of soil-transmitted helminth larvae in the skin, the most common being Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma caninum. It is more likely to occur on the feet and lower extremities. The incidence of CLM occurring over the face is relatively rare.
