A Case of Creeping Eruption
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Creeping eruption is a rare cutaneous serpiginous eruption caused by the accidental invasion of the skin by parasites.
The patient was a 26 year-old female presented with a severe pruritic erythematous serpiginous linear skin lesion on the dorsal surface of left foot for 10 days.
Histopathologic finding revealed a typical burrow containing inflammatory cells and necrotic epithelial cells in the epidermis and diffuse and diffuse patch infiltration of mononuclear cells and eosinophils in the dermis. Laboratory examination
shows
eosinophilia.
The patient was treated with oral flubendazole 500mg per day for 10 days. The skin lesion disappeared with out recurrence. We described a typical case of creeping eruption never reported in Korea. (Kor J Dermatol 1996;34(3) : 485~488)
