“…Contamination occurs through accidentally ingested larvae. Despite a majority of them being destroyed during digestion, some may survive, causing gastrointestinal myiasis ( 5 ). A. lumbricoides is a nematode of the family of the Ascarididae.…”

“…Ascariasis is transmitted by ingestion of eggs of a roundworm called Ascaris lumbricoides present in the soil, water, or contaminated food. Interestingly, intestinal myiasis caused by larva from the drone fly E. tenax is of rarer occurrence, with less than 50 reported cases in the scientific literature (3–6). The originality of this case lies in the massive and double infestation, young age of the child, and challenges of treatment with anthelminthics in this age group.…”

We report a rare case of coinfection by intestinal parasitosis and myiasis (Ascaris lumbricoides and Eristalis tenax) in a 10-month-old female infant living in Yaounde, an urban area in a low-and middle-income country. Incidental discovery was made following symptoms of acute vomiting and diarrhea with a massive release of an estimated thirty adult A. lumbricoides worms and E. tenax larvae through nasal, buccal, and anal routes. Diagnosis was based on the macroscopic appearance of the worms and the fly larvae. Treatment with benzimidazoles was initiated, with a resolution of symptoms within one week. This case highlights the challenges of public health eradication guidelines (such as the antihelminthic drugs marketing authorization) in our setting and discusses the protocols of management in less than 1-year-old infants in sub-saharan Africa, a region of high helminthic endemicity.

“…Intestinal myiasis in humans perhaps raises concerns on accidental patterns of infection and follows consumption of contaminated raw or uncooked food or water. Herein, some ingested larvae are not destroyed by the digestive fluid, decay organic matter, and may produce various and unspecific gastrointestinal distress [8]. …”

We have described a new case of accidental intestinal myiasis that had occurred due to Eristalis tenax in Iran. A 4-year-old girl living in rural area near Bajestan city located in the south of Khorasan Razavi province visited the hospital lab with complaints of one live larva in feces and did not have other symptoms, except anal itching. This case had a history of consuming subterranean village water and did not have a history of traveling outside the city or contact with other patients. Conclusion. Based on the morphology characteristic, the larva was identified as “rat-tailed maggot” or larvae fly E. tenax.

An 83‐year‐old Japanese woman with dementia presented with multiple pressure ulcers and cellulitis. At presentation, numerous white maggots were wriggling in the stool on the diaper. Interview to the family revealed that the patient received inappropriate home care due to her dementia and her primary caregiver's developmental disability. No further maggots were omitted after admission, and she was diagnosed with intestinal myiasis. Intestinal myiasis has become rare in developed countries especially in adults. However, elderly bedridden patients living in poor hygiene conditions are at a greater risk of developing intestinal myiasis.
