A number of fly maggots were found emerging from the nose and tracheostomy site of an 82-year-old woman who had been in a coma for two months in an acute care hospital in a large Canadian city. This case history indicates that the infestation was hospital-acquired and although undoubtedly an extremely rare occurrence, at least in Canada, points out the risk of myiasis in the unconscious, debilitated patient.
在加拿大一个大城市的一家急症医院里，一名82岁昏迷两个月的女性患者的鼻子和气管造口处发现有一些蝇蛆出现。该病例史表明这种感染是医院获得性的，尽管无疑是极为罕见的情况，至少在加拿大是这样，但它指出了昏迷、虚弱患者发生蝇蛆病的风险。
