“…3,6 There are also publications recommending the use of ivermectin, a macrolide antibiotic, for 3 days following larval cleaning, at 6 mg/day orally. 2 Antibiotherapy may be required in some cases to prevent secondary infections. If diagnosis and treatment are delayed, serious complications such as intracranial spread, meningitis, and even death can occur.…”

“…Although many parasites prefer open or superficial wounds to live, there are also varieties of larvae that can live in healthy tissues. 1,2 Many fly families have been reported previously in aural myiasis, and the most common type of myiasis in aural myiasis is the obligatory parasite Wohlfahrtia magnifica. These larvae can destroy undamaged healthy tissues, deepen in tissue layers, and cause advanced infections.…”

Myiasis is a parasitic infestation by fly larvae. It is usually associated with poor hygienic conditions. Most of the literature consists of individual case reports or short case series. In this study, we report eight cases of myiasis who present with aural or nasal symptoms. Material and Methods: It's a retrospective study included 8 patients with ear, nose and throat myiasis diagnosed over a 9-year period, from 2013 to 2022. Results: The study included 6 male and 2 female patients, aged from 9 to 84 years. Two patients were bedridden. There were 6 cases of aural myiasis and 2 of nasal myiasis. All of the patients with aural myiasis had a history of chronic otitis media. A patient with nasal myiasis had a nasogastric tube as a predisposing factor. In the other case of nasal myiasis, there was no comorbid disease, there was a history of ocular myiasis. For the treatment of myiasis infection, all maggots were cleaned one by one with a microscope or endoscope. No reinfection was observed in patients followed up for 1 month. Conclusion: Otorhinolaryngologic myiasis is very rare and mostly seen as an ear infection. Especially for aural myiasis, suppurative otitis can be a predisposing factor. Diagnosis is often easy. Myiasis should be kept as one of the possible diagnoses in patients with otitis media and in patients with long-term nasal tubes. Treatment of this parasitic infection is resection of maggots.

Introduction: Myiasis, a pathological condition in which dipteran larvae infect and parasitise a host, usually occurs in tropical and subtropical climate countries. Larvae can infect different parts of the human body. Intraoral human myiasis is considered a rare condition that is associated with systemic, local and environmental predisposing factors. Objective and case report: This case report describes a systemically compromised patient with expressive intraoral infestation causing pain, bleeding and tissue necrosis. The patient was treated in a hospital environment under the effects of general anaesthesia. Treatment consisted of removal of the larvae, surgical debridement and use of ivermectin. Final considerations: The control of hygiene conditions by the family/caregivers and dental care are determinant for the prevention of intraoral human myiasis, especially in patients with defective self-care presenting with dentofacial skeletal alterations that make normal mouth closure impossible. The control of the disease is a determinant to avoid potential complications, such as airway involvement, secondary infections and sepsis.
