| description | Background and Purpose: Myiasis is an infestation of vertebrates caused by the feeding of fly larvae on the living or necrotic tissue of hosts. Human myiasis is more prevalent among people who live in unsanitary conditions or have close contact with domestic animals. In this report, a case of nasopharyngeal myiasis in a 63-year-old patient admitted to the intensive care unit is presented.
Case Presentation: A case of nasopharyngeal myiasis in a 63-year-old man with heart and respiratory failure in a hospital in Tehran City, Iran, is reported. By investigating the morphological characteristics of the isolated larvae and cultivating the pupa, Lucilia sericata was identified.
Conclusion: It is recommended that necessary operations be carried out to prevent the entry of insects, including flies, into hospitals and control of them. |
