Abstract

The infestation of human and animal tissues or organs by the larvae of flies is collectively termed as myiasis. The occurrence of oral myiasis is analogously low compared with cutaneous myiasis as oral tissues are not habitually exposed to the external environment. Oral myiasis predominantly affects the periodontium, buccal and/or palatal mucosa, lips, and tongue. The prevalence of myiasis is substantially higher in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in developing countries. This research adduces a case of oral myiasis related to palatal gingiva in a young boy who was intubated due to pneumonia.

Özet

Miyazis, insanların ve hayvanların doku ve organlarının sinek larvaları tarafından istila edilmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Ağız dokusu kalıcı olarak dış ortama maruz kalmadığından, oral miyazis insidansı kutanöz miyazise göre nispeten daha azdır. Oral miyazis en çok periodonsiyumu, bukkal ve/veya damak mukozasını, dudakları ve dili etkiler. Miyazis insidansı özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, tropikal ve subtropikal bölgelerde daha yüksektir. Burada, pnömoni nedeniyle entübe edilen küçük bir erkek çocukta damak diş etine bağlı bir oral miyazis olgusu sunulmuştur.
