With air travel so prevalent, diseases endemic to certain regions may appear anywhere. The botfly (Dermatobia hominis) is not native to North America. We describe a case of a young boy and his father who presented with furunculosis secondary to infestation with the botfly. The infected patients live in South Florida and had been vacationing in Central America. Standard surgical treatment as well as multiple native remedies are described.
随着航空旅行如此普遍，某些地区特有的疾病可能会出现在任何地方。肤蝇（人肤蝇）并非北美本土物种。我们描述了一例小男孩及其父亲因肤蝇感染继发疖病的病例。受感染的患者居住在南佛罗里达州，曾在中美洲度假。文中介绍了标准的外科治疗方法以及多种当地疗法。
