Bacteremia induced by wound myiasis is uncommon and therefore rarely suspected by clinicians when treating patients with neglected wounds. We present a case of Ignatzschineria larvae bacteremia as a complication of Lucilia sp. maggot wound myiasis in a young male migrant. This is the first reported human case of Ignatzschineria bacteremia in Slovenia and one of the 2 described in the literature where the fly larvae infesting the wounds of the patient with Ignatzschineria bacteremia were not only suspected to be Lucilia sp. but also entomologically identified.
创伤性蝇蛆病导致的菌血症并不常见,因此临床医生在治疗被忽视的创伤患者时很少怀疑这种情况。我们报告了一例伊格那齐虫幼虫菌血症,这是年轻男性移民中卢西莉亚蝇蛆创伤性蝇蛆病的并发症。这是斯洛文尼亚首例报道的伊格那齐虫菌血症病例,也是文献中描述的 2 例病例之一,其中感染伊格那齐虫菌血症患者伤口的蝇蛆不仅被怀疑是卢西莉亚蝇,而且在昆虫学上也被鉴定为卢西莉亚蝇。
