Abstract

Myiasis is the infestation of tissues and organs of vertebrate animals and humans by the larval stages of dipterous flies. In present case, a four year old child living in Silopi was applied to our clinic with complaints of otalgia, pruritus and otorrhea in the right ear. In the physical examination, aural fetor, secretion and several foreign bodies were observed. Twenty living maggots were removed from the external auditory canal (EAC) using surgical forceps. The maggots were identified as third phase larvae of Wohlfahrtia magnifica. In conclusion, patient should be examined for aural myiasis in case of otalgia, otorrhea, itching, and hearing impairments, especially in children

Özet

Miyaz, omurgalı hayvan ve insanların doku ve organlarının diptera dizisindeki sinek larvaları ile istilasıdır. Bu olguda, Silopi'de yaşayan dört yaşında bir çocuk hasta sağ kulağında ağrı, kaşıntı ve akıntı şikayetleriyle polikliniğe başvurmuştur. Fizik muayenesinde çok sayıda yabancı cisim, akıntı ve işitme kaybının olduğu görülmüştür. Cerrahi pens yardımıyla 20 adet canlı larva orta kulak ve dış kulak yolundan çıkarılmıştır. Parazitoloji laboratuvarında yapılan incelemede kurtçukların 3. dönem Wohlfahrtia magnifica larvası olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, kulak ağrısı, kulak akıntısı, kaşıntısı ve işitme kaybı yaşayan özellikle çocuk hastalar kulak miyazı yönünden muayene edilmelidir
