TL;DR
The epidemiology, clinical appearance and treatment of this "tourism-transmitted" rare form of tropical parasitosis is reported on.
Abstract
Because of the increase in international air travel to the tropical areas, we often observe skin diseases now that were formerly restricted to the equatorial zones. As we have recently observed several cases of tungiasis in our department, we report here the epidemiology, clinical appearance and treatment of this "tourism-transmitted" rare form of tropical parasitosis.
