Myiasis is a pathologic condition in humans occurring because of parasitic infestation. Parasites causing myiasis belong to the order Diptera. Oral myiasis is seen secondary to oral wounds, suppurative lesions, and extraction wounds, especially in individuals with neurological deficit. In such cases, neglected oral hygiene and halitosis attracts the flies to lay eggs in oral wounds resulting in oral myiasis. We present a case of oral myiasis in 40-year-old male patient with mental disability and history of epilepsy.
蝇蛆病是一种因寄生虫感染而在人类身上发生的病理状况。引起蝇蛆病的寄生虫属于双翅目。口腔蝇蛆病继发于口腔伤口、化脓性病变和拔牙伤口，尤其见于有神经功能缺损的个体。在这些情况下，忽视口腔卫生和口臭会吸引苍蝇在口腔伤口产卵，从而导致口腔蝇蛆病。我们报告一例40岁男性精神残疾且有癫痫病史患者的口腔蝇蛆病病例。
