Symptoma

Cochliomyia Hominivorax

We present two cases of oral myiasis caused by Cochliomyia hominivorax spp. Ivermectin is an extremely effective semi-synthetic macrolides, in the treatment of this condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Periodontitis

    We report a rare case of periodontal myiasis by New World screwworm Cochliomyia hominivorax, an obligatory larval parasite, in a 66-year-old woman. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Ulcer

    The patient attended the hospital of the capital city of Tucumán Province for a consultation concerning an ulcer in his right foot, where the larval specimens were found. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Musca sorbens adults feed on mucous secretions around the faces and eyes of humans, and are also attracted to wounds and ulcers. [web.archive.org]

  • Flushing

    Flushing the wound with nitrofurazone caused the maggots to endure a liquid-filled anaerobic environment. Healing was uneventful in the 2 cases presented and no adverse reactions were observed during the treatment after 2 months of follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Posterior spiracles in a more or less distinct pit or depression, vestigial button usually present; integument rather smooth Sarcophaga Posterior spiracles flush with surface; integument rather spiny ( Western Hemisphere ) ............................ [web.archive.org]

  • Dermatitis

    We report a 26-year-old woman with a history of seborrheic dermatitis and recent trip to Brazil. She presented with a seven days history of suppurating wounds in the parieto-occipital area of the scalp. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Suggestibility

    We suggest that ivermectin plays an important role in the treatment of severe cases of myiasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Phylogenetic analysis of New World screwworm fly, Cochliomyia hominivorax, suggests genetic isolation of some Caribbean island populations following colonization from South America 1 2 J. R. [doi.org]

    This suggests that the consensus TRA/TRA2 site in blowflies may be longer than the 13 bp motif identified previously [2]. [journals.plos.org]

  • Aphasia

    This article aimed to report a case of myiasis caused by Cochliomyia hominivorax in the palate of a patient with primary progressive aphasia, which was successfully treated through mechanical removal of larvae plus administration of ivermectin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Healing was uneventful in the six cases presented, and no undesirable reactions were observed throughout the period of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Myiasis is usually caused by flies of the Calliphoridae family, and Cochliomyia hominivorax is the etiological agent most frequently found in myiasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiological, clinical, analytical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up data were collected from clinical files. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A glossary of entomological and epidemiological terms is included, along with a list of commonly used insecticides and their trade names. [books.google.it]

Because of its great destructive potential, appropriate and preventative treatment are necessary. Among the sites of infestation, the human mouth is a common site, mainly in tropical countries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
