Myiasis infection is caused by the invasion of flies' eggs and larvae into different tissues of the host's body. The rarest form is urogenital myiasis, which can occur even in men with a much lower probability than women, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. The case of this study is a 5-year-old boy from suburbs of Bushehr City, southern Iran who referred to the Pediatrics Department of Persian Gulf Hospital in Bushehr due to constant fever and significant weight loss. In urine evaluation, the presence of larvae was confirmed. The larvae of several species of myiasis-producing flies can attack the urinary-genital system of people and cause urogenital symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose and accurately identify the species of larvae that cause myiasis in order to properly treat affected patients.
蝇蛆病感染是由苍蝇的卵和幼虫侵入宿主体内的不同组织引起的。最罕见的形式是泌尿生殖系统蝇蛆病，这种病在男性中发生的概率比女性低得多，尤其在热带和亚热带地区。本研究的病例是一名来自伊朗南部布什尔市郊区的5岁男孩，他因持续发烧和体重显著减轻而转诊至布什尔波斯湾医院儿科。在尿液检查中，证实存在幼虫。几种可产生蝇蛆病的苍蝇幼虫可侵袭人的泌尿生殖系统并引起泌尿生殖系统症状。因此，有必要诊断并准确识别引起蝇蛆病的幼虫种类，以便对受影响的患者进行适当治疗。
