  • Title: Unusual botfly skin infestation.
    Author: Ono JC, Navin JJ, Glamb RW, Hardman JM.
    Journal: Hawaii Med J; 2004 Mar; 63(3):80-1. PubMed ID: 15124741.
    Abstract:
    Myiasis, the infestation of humans and animals with fly larvae, is observed in tropical, lowland areas. Dermatobia hominis is a common cause of cutaneous human infestation in these areas. Patients often present with a furuncular lesion on the extremities, back, or scalp. We report a case of furuncular myiasis in a patient returning from a trip to South America. We will discuss the life-cycle of D. hominis and the clinical findings important in the diagnosis of myiasis.
