This is the first case report in Egypt and Middle East region of human intestinal myiasis caused by Clogmia albipunctata larvae. A 36-year-old male patient presented to the Outpatient Clinic of Internal Medicine in Beni-Suef University Hospital complaining of abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea intermittent with constipation. Patient's stool sample was referred to the Department of Medical Parasitology for examination of passed larvae and treatment prescription. Examination of larvae by light and scanning electron microscopy confirmed the morphological identification of fourth instar larvae of C. albipunctata. Human intestinal myiasis is an unusual cause of gastrointestinal manifestations.
这是埃及和中东地区首例由 Clogmia albipunctata 幼虫引起的人体肠蝇蛆病病例报告。一名 36 岁男性患者因腹痛、腹胀和腹泻伴有间歇性便秘到本尼苏夫大学医院内科门诊就诊。患者的粪便样本被送到医学寄生虫学系检查排出的幼虫并开具治疗处方。通过光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜检查幼虫,确认了 C. albipunctata 第四龄幼虫的形态学鉴定。人体肠蝇蛆病是一种不常见的胃肠道表现原因。
