This 18 year old girl just returned from a school trip to Costa Rica. Her group explored streams and swamps. She developed asymptomatic papules and pustules on the dorsae of her feet after being in stagnant muddy water and a running stream. I am wonderind if this is a gram negative organism or a parasite. Any thoughts?
