On July 2009, 5 fly larvae were discovered inside the nose of a 76-year-old female. She was living in Cheonan-si, and in a state of coma due to rupture of an aortic aneurysm. Surgery was performed on the day of admission, and the larvae were found 4 days later. By observing their posterior spiracle, the larvae were identified as Lucilia sericata. Considering the rapid development of this species, the infection was likely acquired during hospitalization. Further investigation on the hospital environment should be needed to know the origin of the infection.
2009年7月,在一名76岁女性的鼻腔内发现了5只蝇幼虫。她居住在天安市,因主动脉瘤破裂处于昏迷状态。入院当天进行了手术,4天后发现了这些幼虫。通过观察其尾气门,这些幼虫被鉴定为丝光绿蝇。考虑到该物种的快速发育,感染很可能是在住院期间获得的。需要对医院环境进行进一步调查以了解感染源。
