This was a descriptive epidemiological study with the aim of evaluating the occurrence of human myiasis in urban areas of four municipalities in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Seventy-one patients who spontaneously sought attendance at primary healthcare units between October 1999 and October 2003 were examined. The disease was more prevalent among adults, including in individuals more than 51 years old (42.3%), and among children less than 10 years old (33.8%). From all the cases studied, 62% were of low socioeconomic level; 60.6% were male; and 33.8% of the infested individuals were unemployed. In the cases analyzed, the bioagent species were Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel, 1858), Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus Jr, 1781) and Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius, 1775). The results point towards an association between the disease and the patients living and hygiene conditions. This indicates the need for more specific healthcare among more vulnerable groups.
这是一项描述性流行病学研究，旨在评估里约热内卢州四个市城区人类蝇蛆病的发病情况。对1999年10月至2003年10月期间自发前往基层医疗单位就诊的71名患者进行了检查。该疾病在成年人中更为普遍，包括51岁以上的个体（42.3%）以及10岁以下的儿童（33.8%）。在所有研究病例中，62%的患者社会经济水平较低；60.6%为男性；33.8%的受感染个体失业。在分析的病例中，生物病原体种类为嗜人瘤蝇（科克雷尔，1858年）、人皮蝇（小卡尔·林奈，1781年）和蛆症金蝇（法布里修斯，1775年）。结果表明该疾病与患者的生活和卫生条件之间存在关联。这表明需要为更脆弱的群体提供更具针对性的医疗保健服务。
