Myiasis is the infestation by dipterous fly larvae in humans and animals. The larvae can infect living or necrotic tissue involving the skin, nasopharynx, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal tracts. The accidental ingestion of eggs causes infection of the intestinal tract. We report a case of intestinal myiasis caused by spp. larvae in a two-year-old child from Limatambo province in the Cusco region of Peru. Live larvae were identified incidentally in this child's stool sample during the study screening for . The child did not have any constitutional or abdominal symptoms. The morphological examination of the specimen under magnification revealed spp. larvae. We performed a literature review of publications reporting intestinal myiasis caused by spp. and discussed key aspects of this infestation.
蝇蛆病是双翅目蝇类幼虫在人和动物体内的寄生现象。幼虫可感染涉及皮肤、鼻咽、泌尿生殖和胃肠道的活体或坏死组织。意外摄入虫卵会导致肠道感染。我们报告了一例来自秘鲁库斯科地区利马坦博省一名两岁儿童由 spp. 幼虫引起的肠道蝇蛆病病例。在对 进行研究筛查期间，偶然在该儿童的粪便样本中发现了活幼虫。该儿童没有任何全身或腹部症状。在显微镜下对标本进行形态学检查发现了 spp. 幼虫。我们对报道由 spp. 引起的肠道蝇蛆病的出版物进行了文献综述，并讨论了这种寄生现象的关键方面。
