Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is one of the most common dermatoses found in tropical climates caused by a common hookworm that penetrates the epidermal layer of the skin. As travel increases and climates become warmer, there is an indication that there will be an increase in CLM cases, and therefore health care professionals should become familiar with its clinical features. In this directed case study, students follow the progress of “Louise,” a college student who shadows a podiatric physician in his clinic. When a father and son present with the same itchy rash on their feet, Louise is guided by a series of questions away from her initial misdiagnosis of tinea pedis to a correct diagnosis of CLM. Originally designed for a pre-medical anatomy and physiology class or a public health class, the case concludes with students creating a patient education or public health pamphlet on CLM suitable for a doctor’s office or clinic addressing its mode of transmission, signs and symptoms, and prevention.
