[Imported gnathostomiasis acquired in Myanmar].

We report a case of cutaneous gnathostomiasis acquired in Myanmar where this parasitic zoonosis was considered as non-endemic until a recent outbreak. Myanmar must be added to the list of countries where the infection can be acquired in Southeast Asia. Despite a treatment with ivermectin the patient relapsed after an apparent cure. A double-dose of ivermectin is now recommended for the treatment of gnathostomiasis.
