A 3-year-old child was infested with two larvae of the rodent botfly (insect order Diptera, genus Cuterebra), one on the back and one on the neck. Both larvae produced tracklike lesions in the skin. After week 1, the back lesion did not develop further, but the neck lesion continued to enlarge and formed a boil-like lesion. Despite examination by several physicians, the case was not recognized as myiasis for more than 3 weeks. Details of the case are presented and discussed, including the possibility that infestation resulted from direct deposition of eggs or larvae on the patient.
一名3岁儿童感染了两只鼠蝇幼虫（双翅目，Cuterebra属），一只在背部，一只在颈部。两只幼虫均在皮肤上形成了条索状病变。第1周后，背部病变未进一步发展，但颈部病变继续扩大并形成了疖样病变。尽管经过几位医生检查，但该病例在3周多的时间里未被诊断为蝇蛆病。本文介绍并讨论了该病例的详细情况，包括虫卵或幼虫直接沉积在患者身上导致感染的可能性。
