Abstract
- The article describes two cases of human myiasis in Canada. A 45-year-old woman, who had been camping in Ontario, presented to the emergency department with a three-week history of swelling and redness around the left eye while a 33-year-old underwent an assessment of skin nodules after a 12-day trip to rural Belize. Topics include the clinical manifestation of myiasis, diagnosis based on the presence of a visible punctum, and extraction of the larvae and treatment recommendation.
