  • Title: [Nasal myiasis].
    Author: Skibsted R, Larsen M, Gomme G.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1995 Apr 10; 157(15):2158-60. PubMed ID: 7652956.
    Abstract:
    Thirty fly maggots were retrieved from the nasal cavity of a 23-year old man who had one week previously received treatment for a nasal fracture. The larvae were identified as Calliphora erythrocephala. These are not a common cause of myiasis as they normally breed on carrion. In myiasis it is important to establish whether the larvae are invasive or not. A brief description of nasal myiasis is given.
