larvae and surgical debridement, in conjunction with ivermectin and systemic broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs to prevent secondary infections (1,2). Treatment with ivermectin can kill the larvae (1; references 14,15 in the online Technical Appendix) and result in considerable reduction of larvae in infested wounds. Ivermectin has a broad antiparasitic spectrum that causes immobilization of pa...

Sir, Myiasis is the infestation of human body tissues by Diptera larvae. Clinically myiasis can be classi¢ed according to the part of the body a¡ected. Cutaneous myiasis includes wound myiasis, creeping eruption and furuncular myiasis in which the larvae penetrate and develop within the skin. The £ies responsible for cutaneous myiasis belong to several groups (Table I). Other £ies are responsib...

Myiasis is a disease caused by fly larvae. The term "myiasis" is derived from the Greek word "myia" meaning fly. Aural myiasis is a rare clinical state and occurs frequently in children.

Infestation of animal tissues by dipteran larvae (myiasis) commonly occurs in many species, but it is unusual for humans in temperate regions. Nevertheless, human myiasis is regularly observed in many primary care facilities in the United States. Beyond medical issues associated with treating human myiasis, both the causal agent and the longevity of myiasis can have legal implications, for exam...

Myiasis refers to Diptera larvae infesting vertebrate animals. There are two forms of the disease: primary and secondary. In primary myiasis, fly larvae invade and develop in healthy tissue; in secondary myiasis, flies lay their eggs in skin ulcerations, and the larvae develop in tissue necrosis products. Furuncular myiasis is a type of primary myiasis. Treatment for it consists of techniques s...
