Myiasis is the term for the invasion of the body by the larvae (maggots) of flies.[1] Myiasis is most likely to occur in semi-tropical and tropical areas of the world.[2] Myiasis may occur in both humans and animals.
Myiasis infection in the circumcision wound
Hossain et al. (2012) reported a single case of myiasis in the circumcision wound of a 10-year-old boy in Bangladesh who had been circumcised seven days before by a traditional circumciser using unsterilized instruments and dressing material.[3]
A search of the medical literature found no similar cases.[3]
