“…Although typically a far greater issue for animals, myiasis is also a relatively frequent affl iction of humans in rural tropical regions where two-winged insects thrive (mosquitoes, biting fl ies, etc. ), serving for transmission of botfl y eggs (Pastor et al, 2013). Treatment of myiasis may often require medical attention to remove surgically the parasite larvae (Ting andBarankin, 2008, Seilmaier et al, 2011).…”

INTRODUCTION: Furuncular myiasis is caused by the genus of botfl y Dermatobia hominis. It belongs to the family Cuterebridae and is indigenous to Central and South America. OBJECTIVE: to present a case report of the fi rst case of this disease in Slovakia. CURRENT STATE OF PROBLEM SOLUTION: The term myiasis refers to infestation of the host (animal, man) by botfl y larvae. Its larvae burrow under the skin. They feed on the host's living tissues and fl uids. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patient's history analysis, parasitological examination. RESULTS: A 58-year-old woman after returning from Central America found in the skin above her m. gluteus mayor 2 indurations, which contained three botfl y larvae. DISCUSSION: Infestation with botfl y larvae Dermatobia hominis is for man annoying and from a health point of view dangerous. CONCLUSION: With proper diagnosis, it is possible to remove the larvae safely from furuncles. The authors point to the fi rst case of imported infestation with Furuncular myiasis caused by botfl y Dermatobia hominis in man introduced to Slovakia. They note that increasing tourism spread to the countries with the endemic occurrence of Furuncular myiasis will cause its higher prevalence also in Central European countries (Fig. 5, Ref. 45).
