Abstract
A husband and wife contracted larva migrans while vacationing on the Gulf of Mexico. Subsequently, migratory pulmonary infiltrates and peripheral eosinophilia (Loeffler's syndrome) developed in both patients. Their cutaneous lesions were treated with topical thiabendazole and resolved within two weeks. The pulmonary complication was treated symptomatically and resolved during the next eight weeks.
