“…Including this publication, five cases of human myiasis have been reported in Mexico of which three correspond to nosocomial myiasis. L. sericata is the causative agent of two of the three reported cases of nosocomial myiasis [15,16], similar to that reported in the United States, Iran, Czech Republic, and Turkey [17][18][19], where the causative agent of nosocomial myiasis was L. sericata. Nosocomial myiasis occurs in immobile, weakened, seriously ill, semiconscious, or unconscious patients with multiple risk factors, such as the presence of trauma, surgical or puncture wounds, abscess drainage, assisted breathing and tracheal tubes, or injuries secondary to continuous exposure of mucous membranes [6,14].…”
