Data are presented on a case of cutaneous furuncular myiasis in a Jamaican resident. This condition is virtually unknown in the Caribbean, but is endemic in Central and South America. The infection, which was caused by Dermatobia hominis, was acquired in Belize and was misdiagnosed and treated as infected insect bites. Cutaneous furuncular myiasis should be considered in patients with sub-acute inflammatory nodular skin lesions with a history of recent travel to endemic countries.
本文介绍了一名牙买加居民患皮肤疖肿型蝇蛆病的病例。这种疾病在加勒比地区几乎无人知晓，但在中美洲和南美洲却是地方病。该感染由人肤蝇引起，患者在伯利兹感染，最初被误诊为昆虫叮咬感染并接受了治疗。对于近期有前往地方病流行国家旅行史、出现亚急性炎症性结节性皮肤病变的患者，应考虑皮肤疖肿型蝇蛆病的可能。
