  • Title: Sebaceous cysts with unpleasant twists: cutaneous myiasis with Dermatobia hominis.
    Author: Osborne M, O'Shearn MK.
    Journal: J R Nav Med Serv; 2013; 99(2):50-2. PubMed ID: 24079201.
    Abstract:
    Dermatobia hominis (human Bot fly) causes furuncular myiasis (larval infection) in Central and South America. This report describes a case in a member of the UK Armed Forces who had recently taken part in an overseas training exercise in Belize. The importance of clinical history (including travel history) is highlighted. We also describe the outcomes of conservative treatment and surgical intervention for separate lesions in the same patient.
