  • Title: [Myiasis of the scalp--an incidental finding in ambulatory surgery].
    Author: Jacobi CA, Bruns C, Keller HW.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1994; 119(10):733-5. PubMed ID: 7801714.
    Abstract:
    Because of the increase of travels to tropical countries the physician in Germany is more often confronted with parasitic tropical diseases. In an apparently routine case a 28 year old patient suffered from infected stitches of the scalp, caused by an unknown insect, after returning from Sri Lanka. Four larvae of Dermatobia hominis, which causes the cutaneous myiasis, were found into the pyogenic furuncles and were removed by surgical approach.
