匐ふく行こう疹しん

noun

creeping eruption; cutaneous larva migrans

Medical term for a skin condition caused by hookworm larvae, characterized by a winding, thread-like rash. The gloss 'ringworm' is a common but imprecise translation; the condition is distinct from dermatophyte infections.

• 熱ねっ帯たい地ち域いきでは、匐ふく行こう疹しんは土ど壌じょうから感かん染せんすることがある。

  In tropical regions, creeping eruption can be contracted from soil.
