Two different myiasis cases in southeast of Turkey: ophthalmomyiasis and cutaneous myiasis.

Myiasis has become increasingly prevalent, particularly when human activity is carried out in environments with poor hygiene. We reported two cases of human myiasis in this paper. All of myiasis cases initially presenting to the Emergency Department of Kilis State Hospital in Turkey were identified. We present one case of ophthalmomyiasis caused by Oestrus ovis and one case of cutaneous myiasis caused by Lucilia sericata. Both of the myiasis cases were reported from rural area case limiting the exposure to adult flies and exterminating the flies will play important role in preventing the myiasis.
