Human infection with botfly larvae (Cuterebra species) are reported, and 54 cases are reviewed. Biologic, epidemiologic, clinical, histopathologic, and diagnostic features of North American cuterebrid myiasis are described. A cuterebrid maggot generally causes a single furuncular nodule. Most cases occur in children in the northeastern United States or the Pacific Northwest; however, exceptions are common. Most lesions of North American cuterebrid myiasis are caused by second or third instar Cuterebra maggots that appear in late August, September, and October. First instar maggots are unusual and occur in the vitreous humor or in the upper respiratory tract of patients in late spring and early summer.
有关于人类感染肤蝇幼虫（肤蝇属物种）的报道，并对54例病例进行了回顾。描述了北美肤蝇蛆病的生物学、流行病学、临床、组织病理学和诊断特征。肤蝇蛆通常会引起单个疖肿性结节。大多数病例发生在美国东北部或太平洋西北部的儿童中；然而，例外情况很常见。北美肤蝇蛆病的大多数病变是由8月下旬、9月和10月出现的第二或第三龄肤蝇蛆引起的。第一龄蛆不常见，发生在春末和初夏患者的玻璃体液或上呼吸道中。
