Myiasis is the infestation of tissues and organs of animals or man by fly larvae. We report a human case of external ophthalmomyiasis caused by the larvae of a sheep nasal botfly, Oestrus ovis, for the first time in a veterinary doctor. A 25-year-old veterinary doctor presented with severe symptoms of conjunctivitis. The larvae, 3 in number, were observed in the bulbar conjunctiva and the symptoms of the eye improved within a few hours of their removal. It is important for ophthalmologists to be aware of larval conjunctivitis as a significant possibility in the veterinary fraternity especially during the summer season.
蝇蛆病是指动物或人类的组织和器官被蝇幼虫寄生。我们首次报道了一名兽医身上发生的由羊鼻狂蝇（Oestrus ovis）幼虫引起的眼外蝇蛆病的人类病例。一名25岁的兽医出现了严重的结膜炎症状。在球结膜中观察到3条幼虫，取出幼虫后数小时内眼部症状有所改善。眼科医生必须意识到，在兽医群体中，尤其是在夏季，幼虫性结膜炎是一种很有可能出现的重要情况。
