A NEW TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC DERMAL MYIASIS

A NEW TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC DERMAL MYIASIS Myiasis is defined as the invasion of any part of the body of man or animals by dipterous larvae (fly maggots). Traumatic dermal myiasis is the invasion of wounds or ulcers of the skin by these larvae. Maggots invading skin wounds and ulcers will also penetrate into the underlying exposed tissues. The presence of these organisms accentuates the putrid condition of the sores and the suffering of the patient and, not infrequently, considerable quantities of tissue may be destroyed by their feeding activities. One of the earliest published references to traumatic dermal myiasis was that of Joseph1 in 1800, and a large number of similar observations have been published since then, especially by medical practitioners and investigators in the warmer regions of the globe. Traumatic dermal myiasis is of common occurrence in the southern part of the United States. However, entirely too often it is not accurately diagnosed, especially http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
