Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Clinicians often link myiasis to tropical travel. This case highlights endemic myiasis from Cuterebra species in North America, broadening its geographical association.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Entomology
  • Parasitology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Myiasis is commonly associated with tropical regions, leading to a potential underestimation of its prevalence in non-tropical areas.
  • Clinicians may overlook endemic myiasis due to preconceived notions about its geographical distribution.

Observation:

  • A case of endemic myiasis caused by Cuterebra species was observed.
  • The patient's condition was not linked to recent travel to a tropical location.

Findings:

  • Cuterebra species can cause endemic myiasis in North America.
  • This finding challenges the traditional association of myiasis solely with tropical environments.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider Cuterebra species as a cause of myiasis in North America, regardless of travel history.
