Abstract

[Extract] In July (midsummer) 2018, a 51-year-old man residing in a village in the Swiss canton of Valais developed two highly pruritic skin lesions. One large lesion was located on the abdomen and a smaller one on the left flank (Figure 1A). Erythematous macules evolved from initial red spots to full size (pictured) within 24 hours.
