Two cases of cutaneous myiasis are described. The first, acquired in West Africa, consisting of 36 furuncle-like lesions, was caused by the larvae of Cordylobia anthropophaga. An adult fly was raised from one larva. In the second patient, the infestation was caused by five larvae of Dermatobia hominis acquired in Central America. Neither patient was aware of any infestation, but the clinical presentation, although also suggestive of bacterial skin infection, showed a typical course and symptoms of cutaneous myiasis in both patients.Downloads
