  • Title: Subcutaneous myiasis caused by Dermatobia hominis.
    Author: Logar J, Beović B, Triller C, Rakovec S.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2001; 33(2):153-5. PubMed ID: 11233853.
    Abstract:
    A case of subcutaneous myiasis caused by the larvae of the Dermatobia hominis fly is described, involving the ankle region of a 25-y-old man who had returned from Peru. After removal of 4 larvae from the affected sites, the lesions healed in 2 weeks without further treatment. Because of the increasing number of people travelling to tropical America, physicians in Slovenia will have to consider Dermatobia myiasis in the differential diagnosis of furuncular lesions in patients with a relevant travel history.
