Urinary myiasis, a rare condition caused by the infestation of fly larvae in the urinary tract, poses diagnostic challenges due to its nonspecific symptoms and low prevalence. We report a 52-year-old woman with persistent dysuria, frequency despite multiple treatments for suspected infections. Cystoscopy revealed erythema and debris, but imaging and laboratory tests were unremarkable. A live larva was identified in urine analysis, confirming the diagnosis. Treatment involved improved hygiene and hydration. Prompt recognition and management is needed to prevent complications. Awareness of this rare condition is crucial, particularly in individuals with poor sanitation and underlying urinary tract abnormalities.
泌尿生殖道蝇蛆病是一种由蝇幼虫在泌尿道寄生引起的罕见病症,因其症状不具特异性且发病率低,给诊断带来了挑战。我们报告一例52岁女性,尽管针对疑似感染进行了多次治疗,但仍持续存在排尿困难、尿频症状。膀胱镜检查显示有红斑和碎屑,但影像学和实验室检查均无异常。尿液分析中发现了一条活幼虫,从而确诊。治疗包括改善卫生状况和增加水分摄入。需要及时识别和处理以预防并发症。认识到这种罕见病症至关重要,尤其是在卫生条件差且存在潜在泌尿道异常的个体中。
