Abstract

This study was conducted to report the digestive system infestation caused by the larvae of Coleoptera in a female pediatric patient. She was admitted to our hospital with the complaints of emergence of insect larvae from her vomit and feces, abdominal pain, inguinal pain, lack of appetite, hair loss, excessive cleaning behavior, extreme irritability, and distractibility. The larvae observed typically had the morphology of the larvae of insects related to the Cantharidae family in the Coleoptera order. For treatment, a single dose of albendazole (400 mg) was used. Consequently, in the present case, it was seen that the larvae of Coleoptera incidentally taken orally could continue to live for a period in the digestive tract of people, without losing vitality, and the larvae caused a variety of symptoms due to both their toxic agents and the possible irritation they caused.

Özet

Bu çalışma, bir çocuk hastada Coleoptera larvalarının neden olduğu sindirim sistemi enfestasyonunu rapor etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Hasta kusmuk ve dışkısından böcek larvası çıkması, karın ağrısı, kasıklarda ağrı, iştahsızlık, saç dökülmesi, aşırı temizlik davranışı, aşırı sinirlilik hali ve dikkat dağınıklığı şikâyetleri ile hastanemize başvurmuştur. Larvaların tipik olarak Coleoptera takımından Cantharidae ailesine bağlı insektlerin larvalarının morfolojisine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Tedavi için tek doz albendazol (400 mg) kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak sunmuş olduğumuz bu vaka ile oral yolla rastlantısal olarak alınan Coleoptera larvalarının insanların sindirim sisteminde canlılığını yitirmeden belli bir süre yaşamaya devam edebildiği ve hem toksik maddeleriyle hem de meydana getirdiği muhtemel irritasyonla çeşitli belirtilere neden olduğu görülmüştür.
