Entire Body System
- Pain
The pain increased in spite of 3 days of medication. She consulted the Department of OBG in our hospital, where no gynecological cause for pain was found. She was referred to dermatology to rule out any sexually transmitted infections. [ijdvl.com]

Larvae complete their development in 5-7 days, and they then wriggle out of the wound and fall to the ground to pupate. [10] The treatment is primarily manual removal of larvae after the topical application of turpentine oil, mineral oil, chloroform, [jpalliativecare.com]

- Ulcer
On local examination, there was ulcer of size approximately 5x3 cm, irregular in shape, involving right labia majora, labia minora and vagina (Figure 1). Floor of the ulcer was covered with foul smelling slough with numerous maggots. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

- Irritability
Local irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea are the usual symptoms. 6 The low oxygen levesl in the gut usually will kill the maggots, but some survive intact because their outer layers are resistant to digestive enzymes. 15 [web.stanford.edu]
