Ophthalmomyiasis externa, results from infestation of the conjunctiva by the larval form of Oestrus ovis. It is usually seen in rural areas. We report a case with ophthalmomyiasis externa in a young man living in an urban area (Istanbul, Turkey) who had no known history of traveling to the rural area. Even in patients living in urban areas ophthalmomyiasis externa should be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of red eye.
眼外蝇蛆病是由羊狂蝇幼虫侵袭结膜引起的。该病通常见于农村地区。我们报告了一例居住在城市地区(土耳其伊斯坦布尔)的年轻男性患眼外蝇蛆病的病例,该患者无前往农村地区的已知旅行史。即使是居住在城市地区的患者,在红眼的鉴别诊断中也应考虑眼外蝇蛆病。
