In Vivo Observation of Cutaneous Larva Migrans by Fluorescence-Advanced Videodermatoscopy

Fluorescence-advanced videodermatoscopy is not a widespread diagnostic technique. Its application in dermatology can facilitate the diagnosis of diseases such as cutaneous larva migrans by enabling us to recognize the precise position of larva in vivo on the skin. Using this noninvasive technique, we detected a case of cutaneous larva migrans in a patient.

Automated summary

Fluorescence-advanced videodermatoscopy is a useful but not widely used diagnostic technique in dermatology, helping to facilitate the diagnosis of diseases such as cutaneous larva migrans. It was able to successfully detect a case of cutaneous larva migrans in a patient through noninvasive means.
