This paper reports for the first time the findings of human myiasis in abandoned elderlies in the Niger Delta and Southeast Nigeria. Most myiasis-causing agents recovered from different parts of the elderlies' bodies were Cordylobia anthropophaga, Lucilia sericata, Musca domestica, Chrysomia sp and Sarcophaga vilosa. Parts of the body of the abandoned elderlies from where recoveries of dipterous larvae were made are presented. We assessed the infection rates of abandoned elderlies of the two ecological zones in Nigeria [Niger Delta and South-East]. We studied a cohort of 5-10 patients presenting different cases of myiasis in elderlies within the age bracket 68-92 years. We extracted maggots from different parts of their bodies. Dermatological data showed variations in infection rates of dipteran larval distributions in the abandoned elderlies of Ogbaru Town in Southeast ; prominent among them were C. anthropophaga 46% [CI 24.5-46.3]; Chrysomia sp 27% [CI 95%, 18.3-27.3]; L. serricata 20% [CI 95%17.5-20.6] and Sarcophaga vilosa, 7% [CI 5.3-7.4]. Overall infection rates in abandoned females in Ughelli for the respective dipteran larvae were for C. anthropophaga 40% [

Miyazis, deri, mukoza veya vücudun doğal boşluklarına yerleşen zoonotik bir hastalıktır ve sinek larvaları kaynaklıdır. Kırsal alanlarda, zayıf hijyenik koşullara sahip kişi ve bölgelerde daha sık rastlanır. Daha sıklıkla tropik, subtropik ve sıcak bölgelerde rastlanır, sıcak mevsimlerde insidansında artış beklenir. Genelde vücudun açıkta kalan baş-boyun, ekstremite bölgelerinde veya kronik yara bulunan bölgelerde yerleşim gösterse de nadir vulvar yerleşim bildirilmiştir. Larvaların temizlenmesi temel tedavi yöntemidir. Olgu sunumumuzda genital kaşıntı şikayetleriyle başvuran ve sol labium majusta larva tespit edilen 16 yaşında kız çocuğu sunulmuştur.
