Abstract		Background. We present two patients in whom after traveling in the tropics a track skin lesion appeared, which advanced intradermal in a serpinginously way. The skin lesion migrated a few milimeters daily producting an intensely itchy eruption. The patients have no other pathologic symptoms. All laboratory values were in the normal range. Conclusions. On the epidemiologic ground and patognomonic clinical signs we diagnosed the cutaneous larva migrans (larva cutanea migrans). Both patients were successfuly treated with oral albendazol. In addition the clinical signs, epidemiology and differential diagnosis of itchy skin lesions after staying in the tropics will be discussed.
Summary		Izhodišča. predstavljamo dva bolnika, pri katerih se je na potovanju po tropskih krajih pojavil trakast kožni izpuščaj, ki se je v koži vijugasto širil. Izpuščaj je napredoval po nekaj milimetrov dnevno in povzročal izrazito srbenje. Drugih bolezenskih simptomov bolnika nista imela. Osnovne laboratorijske preiskave so bile v mejah normalnega. Zaključki. Na osnovi epidemiološkega podatka in značilne klinične slike smo postavili diagnozo potujoče kožne ličinke (larva cutanea migrans) ter oba bolnika uspešno pozdravili z oralnim albendazolom. V nadaljevanju predstavljamo klinične značilnosti, epidemiologijo in diferencialno diagnozo srbečeih kožnih izpuščajev po bivanju v tropih.
