| Yhteenveto: | Abstract: Although wound or traumatic myiasis is common in tropical countries, only recently cases associated with underlying dermatoses, such as seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis, have been reported.

Treatment was performed with oral and topical ivermectin, followed by manual extraction of the larvae. |
