Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a parasitic
infection that is especially transmitted from soils contaminated with hook worm
originating from cats and dogs, hence lesions are seen in lower extremity. In
this report we present a case infected in Kocaeli, Turkey; while he walked barefoot
in a stream.  In cases with foot involvement
with serpiginous lesions and not responding to routine treatment, CLM must be
considered in differential diagnosis.
