Abstract

Two cases of skin infestation with the larvae of Ankylostoma braziliense are reported. The cases are interesting because of the remissions which occurred over a period of ten months and because of the observation of a lesion occurring in a portion of the body distal to the primary site six months following the original infestation. © 1940 The C.
