Abstract

Various case reports on nasal myiasis written during the 1990s and 2000s state that nasal myiasis, which is known as peenash among South Asian natives, is a form of divine punishment in Hindu mythology, but do not provide citations from Hindu scriptures that would suggest this interpretation. This paper aims to discuss the phenomenon of peenash in a historical context by examining medical literature written during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to identify Hindu texts contributing to the belief of some Hindus that nasal myiasis is a form of divine punishment, and to provide an overview of contemporary treatment for and management of nasal myiasis.

摘要

20世纪90年代和21世纪初撰写的各种关于鼻蝇蛆病的病例报告称，鼻蝇蛆病在南亚当地人中被称为“皮纳什”，在印度教神话中是一种神罚形式，但并未提供印度教经文的引文来支持这种解释。本文旨在通过研究19世纪和20世纪初撰写的医学文献，在历史背景下讨论“皮纳什”现象，确定导致一些印度教徒认为鼻蝇蛆病是神罚形式的印度教文本，并概述鼻蝇蛆病的当代治疗和管理方法。
