Myiasis with Dermatobia hominis in a Sicilian traveller returning from Peru
2007
Summary We report a case of a bot fly infestation of the scalp. A 45-year-old man after returning to Sicily noted a small white “worm” erupting from the upper lesion. Physical examination revealed a superficial furuncular lesion with central pores with sero-sanguineous discharge. The foreign body identified was diagnosed as the larva of the human bot fly, Dermatobia hominis.
