Sixty-five fly maggots were retrieved from the nasal cavity of an unconscious 64-year-old man who had been admitted 18 days earlier with diabetic hyperosmolar coma. The larvae were identified as Cochliomyia macellaria, an organism commonly associated with myiasis in the United States. The clinical time sequence indicates that this infection was acquired in the hospital. This incident provides further evidence that immobile and debilitated patients are at risk to acquire myiasis.
从一名64岁昏迷男性的鼻腔中取出了65只蝇蛆，该男子18天前因糖尿病高渗性昏迷入院。这些幼虫被鉴定为美洲绿蝇，这是一种在美国通常与蝇蛆病相关的生物。临床时间顺序表明这种感染是在医院获得的。这一事件进一步证明，行动不便和身体虚弱的患者有感染蝇蛆病的风险。
