Myiasis is the infestation of living vertebrates or humans tissues by dipterous larvae. The oral cavity is rarely affected by this infestation and the circumstances which can lead to oral myiasis include persistent mouth opening together with poor hygiene. Such infestations have been reported mainly in developing countries such as in Asia. Although rare, nosocomial myiasis must be noted carefully, especially in case of hospitalized patients. This report describes three cases of nosocomial oral myiasis in hospitalized patients in ICU (intensive care unit) in Tabriz, North West of Iran.
蝇蛆病是双翅目幼虫寄生在活体脊椎动物或人体组织中。口腔很少受到这种寄生感染，导致口腔蝇蛆病的情况包括持续张口且卫生状况差。此类感染主要在亚洲等发展中国家有报道。虽然罕见，但必须密切关注医院内发生的蝇蛆病，尤其是在住院患者中。本报告描述了伊朗西北部大不里士重症监护病房（ICU）住院患者发生的3例医院内口腔蝇蛆病病例。
