Abstract

Myiasis is a parasitic infestation of tissues and body cavities of vertebrates by Diptera larvae. Nasal myiasis is mostly caused by the Sarcophagidae and Calliphoridae families. Many predisposing factors play a role in the appearance of nasal myiasis. In the treatment of the disease, the use of antiseptics together with mechanical cleaning is recommended. In this report, a case of nasopharyngeal myiasis in a 75-year-old patient hospitalized in the intensive care unit is presented. Nine larvae were detected in the patient's nose. Larvae were removed from the area and were cleaned with iodine solution for three days. As a result of macroscopic and microscopic examination, the larvae were identified as the third stage of Sarcophaga sp. in order to prevent myiasis infestations, personnel working in places where the patient is unconscious, such as intensive care units, should daily check the patient's body cavities such as nose, mouth and ear cavities, and perform their care and cleaning.

鼻咽蝇蛆病1例
蝇蛆病是由双翅目幼虫寄生于脊椎动物的组织和体腔。鼻蝇病主要由蝇蛆科和蝇蛆科引起。许多诱发因素在鼻蝇蛆病的出现中起作用。在治疗疾病时,建议在使用防腐剂的同时进行机械清洗。在这个报告中,一个病例鼻咽蝇病在重症监护室住院的75岁病人是提出。患者鼻内检出9只幼虫。将幼虫从该区域取出,用碘溶液清洗3天。经宏观和显微镜检查,确定该幼虫为第三期石棺虫,为防止蝇蛆病的侵袭,在重症监护病房等患者无意识场所工作的人员应每日对患者的鼻、口、耳腔等体腔进行检查,并进行护理和清洁。
