Abstract

SUMMARY: İnce E, Oğuzkurt P, Gezer HÖ, Alışkan HE, Hiçsönmez A. Aspiration of an interesting foreign body: Myiasis. Turk J Pediatr 2015; 57: 621-623. Myiasis is a rare condition caused by the invasion of tissues by the larvae of flies. Many cases of myiasis involving various human organs have been reported. Tracheopulmonary or intratracheal myiasis is a very unusual and aberrant form of the disease in humans. We present a case of respiratory myiasis after aspiration of larvae by a healthy 8-month-old girl, which cannot be found in the English literature.
