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 ofTunga penetransinfestation. Scrapings and sections from the lesions below the toes revealed crumpled eggs from a pregnant arthropod, whose identity is almost certainlyTunga penetrans.Keywords
