“…De nombreuses molécules utilisées seules ou en association ont variablement prouvé leur efficacité dont les principales sont: l'albendazole, le thiabendazole, le mébendazole, le fluvermal, et/ ou l'ivermectine [15][16][17][18]. Dans nos trois cas, la prise d'albendazole en 3 jours consécutifs, a entrainé la guérison sans effets secondaires avec un suivi de 8 semaines.…”

Cutaneous Larva migrans, known as creeping dermatitis, is a parasitic disease caused by an hookworm larvae in a dead end in moist soil. It is a very common condition in tropical countries, especially among children playing in sand and among travelers. The body contact with soil contaminated with larvae in certain religious practices may expose individuals to contamination. We report three cases of CML at the forehead in three Muslim religious practitioners. Contamination was made by contact with dirty soil in unfenced mosques during overwintering. The presence of stray cats was confirmed by the 3 patients. Treatment with albendazole resulted in complete healing. RÉSUMÉLa Larva Migrans Cutanée (LMC) connue sous le nom de larbisch ou creeping disease est une maladie parasitaire due à une larve d'ankylostome en impasse dans le sol humide. C'est une affection très fréquente dans les pays tropicaux notamment chez les enfants jouant dans le sable et chez les voyageurs. Le contact du corps avec le sol souillé de larves dans certaines pratiques religieuses, peut exposer les individus à la contamination. Nous rapportons 3 cas de LMC à localisation au front chez 3 pratiquants de religion musulmane. La contamination a été faite par contact avec le sol souillé par les excréments d'animaux dans des mosquées non clôturées pendant l'hivernage. La présence de chats errants a été confirmée par les 3 patients. Le traitement par l'albendazole a entrainé la guérison totale.

Prevalence and risk factors associated with gastrointestinal parasites in dogs from central coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, India was estimated by coprological examination. On examination of faecal samples of 1,907 dogs by saturated zinc sulphate floatation, sedimentation technique and modified Ziehl-Nielsen staining, an overall prevalence of 52.2% was observed. Single species infections were more common (49.7%) than mixed infections (2.5%). A total of 11 different species were detected. The most prevalent species was Ancylostoma canis followed by Toxocara canis, Cystoisospora ohioensis, Dipylidium caninum, Toxascaris leonina, Capillaria aerophila, Diphyllobothrium latum, Cystoisospora canis, Entamoeba spp., Trichuris vulpis and Cryptosporidium spp. The overall prevalence was high in stray dogs (65.9%). The prevalence of A. caninum (31.6%) was significant in pet dogs. Significant relationship between the season and prevalence of parasites was observed, the infection being more prevalent during rainy season. Binary logistic regression analysis identified age, season and the living condition of dogs and lack of zoonotic awareness of owners as risk factors for different parasitic infection.
