Abstract
We present a recent report of a severe tungiasis case identified on a municipality in the amazon region. Despite being prevalent in endemic areas, severe infections with more than 100 embedded sand fleas are uncommon. We report a severe infection diagnosed in a 48-years-old male patient where about 150 embedded sand fleas were removed from both feet. The patient presented severe inflammation and pain which associated with the intense infection increase morbidity.
