Myiasis is defined as infestation of a mammal by fly larvae. It may occur on either living tissues (primary myiasis) or dead tissues (secondary myiasis). In this report, we present a patient with myiasis with an extremely rare clinical manifestation and severe allergic reaction, and we review the literature in order to reveal the current status. A 20-year-old female patient was admitted to our emergency department due to rush on face, cough and shortness of breath. The maggot came out of her nose was identified as Oestrus ovis . With a diagnosis of severe allergic reaction due to myiasis, she was treated diphenhidramine, prednisone and inhale albuterol in the emergency department. After treatment and further investigation, she was discharged with full recovery. Myiasis is a rare cause for severe allergic reaction in patients with definite diagnosis. Immediate diagnosis and treatment are milestones in preventing bad outcomes.

“…Despite this, parasitic organism present highly complex hiding mechanism and classical systemical immunomediated recognizing and antigens elimination systems are often unsuccessful. 4,5 Global parasitic pathogenetic mechanism is mediated by various aspect: Target system/organ damages: Parasitic organisms are largely known for their often expressed organ-related pathogenicity (trophism). Direct damages are usually mediated by progressive tissue direct elimination, blood vessels damages, direct hemorragia, nervous alteration and organ specific damages.…”

Periodontal disease is a complex inflammation/immune-mediated compromising of connective and epithelial tissues in dental periodontal ligament. Serving as a stabilizing and mechanical absorption system, periodontal ligament consist in a complex and organized structure presenting a really delicate balance with oral microbioma and immunomediated alterations. A large number of microbiological assays have been developed to understand, prevent and even stabilize an advanced disease form. Specific protozoic organism, usually not triggered in conventional microbiological assays, could not be evaluated and underestimated by the clinician. Their role, pathogenetic mechanism and agonist activity is far to be completely known. As a matter of fact, protozoic organism is still possibly involved in determination of chronical periodontitis and their knowledge is essential for a comprehensive overview in microbioma-mediated oral and gingival alteration. E. gingivalis and T. tenax are strongly associated with non responsive chronic periodontal disease. These pathogen organisms must be clearly and carefully identified and evaluated for a possible antagonistic spontaneous conversion. These conditions could be largely observed in unbalanced oral microbiome and patient with poor oral hygiene. Understanding prevalence, epidemiological aspects, pathological mechanism, therapies and role of hygiene therapy must be a fundamental knowledge of modern dental clinicians.
