Abstract
We describe a case of nasal myiasis due to in a 52-year-old Hindu priest with a previously known case of right sided hemiparesis with diabetes mellitus. Initial attempts to remove the fly larvae using manual extraction with a toothed forceps and normal saline irrigation were unsuccessful. On subsequent nasal irrigation after instillation of ivermectin tabs crushed in normal saline as nasal drops, the patient self-expulsed some larvae, and rest larvae were cleared on subsequent nasal suction and clearance. He also received a course of oral ivermectin. Here, we propose that the antiparasitic oral tablet ivermectin can be used in a nasal drop formulation for the aid of nasal myiasis.
