The article presents a description of two clinical cases of “Larva migrans cutanea”. These patients had intolerable itching sensations in the skin lesions that appeared after returning from tropical countries. Clinical presentation was visualized by erythema with clear boundaries and serpiginous intradermal tracks. The diagnosis was verified on the basis of complaints, anamnesis and a characteristic clinical presentation. The treatment was included antihelmintic drug Albendazole. In both cases patients were recovered. Larva migrans cutanea with prompt and appropriate treatment lends itself well to therapy with rapid achievement of the positive effect without development of complications.
