Extract

The term “Myiasis” is generally used to indicate the presence of Dipterous larvae in the living body of man or other animals. “ The form of Myiasis most commonly met with in the United Kingdom,” writes Austen (1912), “is that of the alimentary canal, as the result of which living larvae or pupae, greatly to the distress and alarm of the patient, are discharged from the bowel. Cases of Myiasis of the nasal passages and frontal sinuses the external auditory meatus, the subcutaneous tissue, and the urinary passages are apparently of quite exceptional occurrence in the British Islands.” The following pages deal with three hitherto unrecorded cases, two of urethral and one of intestinal Myiasis.
