We present a case of larva currens in a patient scheduled for renal transplant. Larva currens is an eruption caused by Strongyloides stercoralis, characterized most often by a pathognomonic, migratory, rapidly extending, serpiginous, urticarial eruption. ⋯ The dermatologist may be in a unique position to diagnose this condition and institute therapy. Although found endemically in the United States, the increasingly international nature of medical practice and transplantation medicine causes an increase in the number of patients who may present for evaluation.
