“…The literature consulted contains reports of furuncular myiasis in several species such as cattle ( Fernandes et al, 2008 ; Oliveira-Sequeira et al, 1996 ), dogs ( Deak et al, 2020 ; Ribeiro et al, 2001 ), wild animals ( May-Junior et al, 2021 ; Soares et al, 2021 ; Verocai et al, 2009 ) and even in humans ( Freitas et al, 2018 ; Pinos et al, 2014 ). The present study shows dermatobiosis in a domestic cat, only reported before in Brazil and Venezuela ( Campos et al, 2021 ; Marcial et al, 2003 ; Verocai et al, 2010 ).…”

Furuncular myiasis caused by Dermatobia hominis in a domestic cat case report

et al. 2022

Dermatobiosis is defined as a parasitosis caused by the larval stage of the human botfly Dermatobia hominis , often observed in large animals but considered unusual in pet animals. The aim of the report is to describe a naturally infested cat treated in a reference dermatology service with clinical presentation similar to neoplasia or abscess. A six-year-old spayed male Brazilian Shorthair cat with outdoor access, from the countryside of Rio de Janeiro state, was treated for two nodules, one located in the sacral region and one in the tail. The patient was restrained, and digital compression of the lesions resulted in expulsion of D. hominis larvae, accompanied by a purulent secretion. The removal of larvae and use of antiseptic at the site resolved the furuncular myiasis. It is possible to assume that the parasitism reported here resulted from the animal’s living arrangement, in a rural area with cattle parasitized by D. hominis . We conclude that parasitism by D. hominis should be present on the list of differential diagnoses of cats with nodules and that mechanical removal associated with the use of antiseptics is resolutive.

“…Myiasis is an aggressive condition, more common in some speci c patients and endemic in tropical countries. Its diagnosis is based on visual clinical ndings of larvae deposited in tissues, either on the surface of the skin or in cavities (nose, mouth, orbit, ear, anus, vagina and penis); or based on images and symptoms, when on internal organs [4,[8][9][10].…”

A 42 year old patient was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Federal University of Uberlândia, for treatment of mandibular fractures (condyles and symphysis), a victim of a run over. The symphysis was surgically approached, using as surgical access the pre-existing laceration in the submental region. Five days after discharge, the patient returned with dehiscence of the wound and physical examination showed infestation by larvae in the symphysis. Mechanical removal and debridement were performed under local anesthesia, where plate exposure was noted. The patient underwent oral ivermectin therapy, intravenous antibiotic therapy and a thorough debridement was performed under general anesthesia due to the invasion of deep spaces in the supra-hyoid region. After 2 weeks, it presented with purulent drainage at the site. The miniplates were replaced by a 2.4 mm reconstruction plate and antibiotic therapy was maintained. Due to the social risk, the patient remained hospitalized for 45 days, when he was discharged with outpatient return, but did not attend the returns.

Miasis genital como complicación de circuncisión debido a fimosis: reporte de caso

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

La circuncisión es un procedimiento quirúrgico de baja complejidad; el riesgo de complicaciones oscila entre el 0,2 a 5%, siendo la miasis un hecho poco frecuente. Para su tratamiento, principalmente se extraen las larvas, y se administran antiparasitarios y antibióticos para prevenir la infección secundaria. El objetivo del artículo es reportar el caso de un adulto masculino, quien presentó miasis genital posterior a una circuncisión y biopsia. En la mayoría de los casos, la miasis es accidental en humanos, y su verdadera incidencia es difícil de establecer debido al subregistro. La mala higiene, el bajo nivel socioeconómico y el hacinamiento son factores de riesgo importantes para adquirirla, además de la excesiva exposición del hospedero potencial a las moscas. Es fundamental realizar un correcto tratamiento de heridas y un seguimiento estricto del paciente que recibe manejo quirúrgico. MÉD.UIS.2019;32(2):41-6
