FREDERICK REISS, MD

Arch Dermatol. 1966;93(4):404-407.

Abstract
A case, probably the first to be reported from New York City, involved a recent arrival from equatorial Africa, whose clinical manifestations were typical of Tunga penetrans infestation. Scrapings and sections from the lesions below the toes revealed crumpled eggs from a pregnant arthropod, whose identity is almost certainly Tunga penetrans.
