We present a report of myiasis, which is the infestation of the body by the larva of flies. In this particular case the patient traveled to Belize and was infested in her foot and leg by Dermatobia hominis or the human botfly. Treatment was initiated once she returned to the United States. She ultimately underwent surgical excision of the larva, which was noted to be alive and moving upon removal. This is a rare larval infestation in humans, but is frequently seen in domestic and livestock animals in Central and South America. With increased international travel, the foot and ankle surgeon should be aware of this parasitic infection in recent travelers to Central and South American countries. ACFAS Level of Clinical Evidence: 4.
我们报告一例蝇蛆病，即蝇类幼虫寄生于人体。在这个特殊病例中，患者前往伯利兹，足部和腿部被人肤蝇（Dermatobia hominis）寄生。她返回美国后即开始接受治疗。最终她接受了幼虫的手术切除，切除时发现幼虫仍存活且在蠕动。这是一种罕见的人类幼虫感染，但在中美洲和南美洲的家畜中很常见。随着国际旅行的增加，足踝外科医生应留意近期前往中美洲和南美洲国家的旅行者中出现的这种寄生虫感染。美国足踝外科协会临床证据等级：4级。
