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.
We report three cases of neurofibromatosis type 1 disease with literature review, collected in the department of neurology and internal medicine from National Hospital of Niamey (HNN). Two of them were men and the first signs were noted by the mother at the birth in 2 cases. Only one case of consanguinity was observed. Clinically, light brown spots on the skin, neurofibromas, Lisch nodules were constantly observed. Histopathological's exam confirmed neurofibromas. Moreover, cutaneous and ophthalmological manifestations lead to the diagnostic. Two cases of orthopedic complications were observed: one scoliosis and one Congenital dysplasia of the long bones. There was no specific treatment. Neurofibromatosis type 1 or von Recklinghausen's disease is the most frequent phacomatosis and its diagnosis is usually composed of a set of clinical criteria of the National Institute Health (Bethesda, 1988).
