Abstract
- Helminths are an important cause of worm infestation in low‐income countries. The majority spread with soil to skin contact. In unusual patients presenting below 1 year, treatment can be challenging. The disease can be self‐limiting; however, treatment is believed to reduce progression to more serious disease. Here, we present a case of a 3‐month‐old with cutaneous larva migrans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
