Presentation
The presentation of sepsis and bacteremia in cutaneous and cavitary myiasis is uncommon. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Wherever possible, different examples are shown of the same disease, in order to illustrate as wide a variety of presentations as possible. [books.google.com]

Treatment
Ivermectin is usually used in veterinary medicine and is effective in humans for the treatment of filarial, scabies, and strongyloidosis. 12 We suggest that oral ivermectin should be considered as an option for treatment of human cavitary myiasis. [nature.com]

We agree with Sharm8 about the effectiveness of treatment: it should be proceeded with clamp removal of larvae. [oldfiles.bjorl.org]

Prognosis
Furunculoid myiasis usually has a good prognosis, although tetanus and secondary infection may occur as complications. Frank suppuration is less commonly seen as a possible result of the bacteriostatic activity of the larval gut. [sti.bmj.com]

Epidemiology
In a concise and user-friendly format, it offers authoritative coverage of epidemiology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, pathology, laboratory tests, management, and prevention for both common and rare conditions. [books.google.com]
This indicates expanded epidemiology of this parasite into an area which has similar weather conditions as the Southern region. [sjmms.net]
This entity has specific epidemiological characteristics. Although it is highly unusual in our environment, imported cases can be found because of increased traveling and immigration. [analesdepediatria.org]
Thus, the mandatory reporting and submission of the larva will help to have a better perspective in terms of epidemiology of the disease. The disease has a benign course; treatment consists of local cleaning of the wound and removal of the maggots. [tropicalparasitology.org]

Prevention
Many authors thus emphasize mandatory documentation and reporting of this condition. [2] This case brings into light a rare but preventable condition. Simple primary and secondary prevention methods can be followed. [tropicalparasitology.org]

To prevent secondary infection, it was prescribed ciprofloxacin 500 mg one tablet at each 12 hours for three days and the patient received anti-tetanus immunization. The material removed (the larvae) was sent to be identified. [go.galegroup.com]
An attempt was made to prevent the larva from breathing by obstructing the orifice with 10% xylocaine gel which also provided local anaesthesia. [sti.bmj.com]
Early treatment is curative and crucial to prevent invasion of healthy tissue. We present an unusual case of acquired cutaneous and cavitary myiasis following head trauma. [shmabstracts.com]
