We report a case of pseudointestinal myiasis treated as helminthic infestation for years together with antihelminthic treatment for many times. Careful examination of faecal sample and clinical examination helped to confirm the diagnosis indicating that use of accurate diagnostic tools plays an important role in the confirmation of disease andforms an important part in further planning of appropriate therapy and to avoid unnecessary use of incorrect therapeutic approach.

External ophthalmomyiasis is an infestation of the eye with larvae of Dermatobia hominis or Oestrus ovis (sheep bot fly). We describe a case of ophthalmomyiasis in a 38-year-old male, who presented with ocular foreign body sensation, redness, pain, and watering of the eye. The causative larvae were removed and sent to the laboratory for identification. By studying morphological features, it was identified as the first instar larvae of O. ovis. The patient was put on topical and oral antibiotics but was lost to follow-up. This is probably the first report from this part of Karnataka.
