Int J STD AIDS. 2007 Jun;18(6):433-4. doi: 10.1258/095646207781024919.

Abstract

The authors describe two cases of cutaneous larva migrans associated with fever in two HIV-positive patients. Laboratory and instrumental examinations allowed to exclusion of other possible causes of fever. The presence of fever in patients with cutaneous larva migrans might represent a marker of HIV infection.
