 | | Cutaneous larva migrans (creeping eruption) is a dermatitis caused by the larvae of Ancylostoma braziliense, the dog and cat hookworm, which penetrate human skin and migrate in the subepidermal tissue. | | | A similar cutaneous eruption may occur in patients with intestinal Strongyloides stercoralis when the perianal skin is autoinoculated by infective larvae passed in the stool. | | | The larvae penetrate the gastric mucosa and elicit an intense inflammatory response, gastric pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. |

| | After the larvae penetrate the skin, erythematous lesions form along the tortuous tracts of their migration as they search for the intestines. | | | Never making it that far, the hookworm larvae do not mature in humans and, without treatment, will die out after several weeks, with resolution of skin lesions. | | | The lesions are intensely pruritic and may occur anywhere on the body. |
