Özet

Myiasis is an invasive diseases caused by larvae of various Dipterian flies. Subcutaneus myiasis cases are commonly observed by Dermatobia hominis larvea. A 26-year-old female patient with a history of travel abroad. Brasil diagnosed with subcutaneous myiasis originating from D. hominis. After spending six months in Amazon forests, Brasil, patient observed two small erythematous papules on right lower quadrant abdomen and delicate and itchy in the sacral region. Two larvae removed from the papules were sent to Ege University Medical Faculty Polyclinic of Infectious Diseases and sent to the parasitology polyclinic for the identification of larval species. After the necessary macroscopic and microscopic examinations, D. hominis was obtained as aresult of myiasis effect. Geographically, natural distribution of D. hominis is South American countries. In this case report we want to introduce the mechanism of egg distribution and take attention to the importance of medical history on myiasis cases. Since it is the first case seen in Turkish patients, it is thought to be presented in terms of revealing the importance of anamnesis in myiasis cases.
