This paper is a preliminary report of studies on "creeping eruption," a disease which has generally been considered as being a myiasis. Five microscopic nematode parasites have been recovered from serial sections of skin tissue excised from patients with creeping eruption at Jacksonville, Florida. These were taken from patients having multiple lesions. This is the first recovery of this nematode from lesions of creeping eruption.

The findings of Samson¹ and Sokolow¹ in which they recovered larvae identified as Gastrophilus by Cholodowsky¹ and the subsequent reports by others (Table 1) have given the impression that Gastrophilus and other fly larvae are the exciting causes of creeping eruption. As the majority of workers have failed to find a larva, and as the senior author² (J. L. K-S) could not correlate the geographic distribution of Gastrophilus with the occurrence of the disease in Florida, an insistent request was made to . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
