Myiasis, a fly larvae infestation, is common in livestock but rare in humans. This report details a rare case of human myiasis occurring with a fractured mandible.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Human Medicine
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Myiasis is a parasitic infestation caused by fly larvae.
  • It is frequently observed in veterinary medicine, particularly in sheep and cattle.
  • Human cases of myiasis are uncommon.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a neglected fractured mandible.
  • The fracture site was complicated by superimposed myiasis.
  • This represents a rare co-occurrence of traumatic injury and parasitic infestation in a human patient.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the potential for myiasis to affect human patients, especially those with predisposing conditions.
  • The successful management of this complex case is crucial for understanding treatment protocols.

  • This report adds to the limited literature on human myiasis associated with severe facial trauma.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider myiasis in the differential diagnosis of neglected wounds, particularly in patients with compromised health or living conditions.
    • Early recognition and treatment are essential to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.
    • Further research into the epidemiology and management of human myiasis is warranted.
