Abstract
Myiasis is a rare clinical condition caused by the larvae of Diptera. It is commonly seen in tropical and sub-tropical zones. The infestation of nose and ears can be extremely dangerous if the larvae destroy the bone and penetrate into the brain affecting the central nervous system. The objective is to report the case of a 3-month infant who was diagnosed to have bilateral aural myiasis at Tumbi Referral Regional Hospital in Tanzania, two maggots were removed one from each ear and the patient was treated with appropriate antibiotics.
