Abstract
The case of pseudoparasitism here recorded occurred in a boy, aged 22 months. The child is normal in every way. His mother is intelligent, very attentive to him, and carefully supervises his eating; at least, that is her intention. About Aug. 1, 1924, she noticed worms in the child's stool and consulted Dr. Milo K. Miller of this city. The rather scant stool in which the worms were found was submitted to me for examination. I removed from it six fly larvae, one cherry pip, and a small red bead. Three of the larvae were well preserved, but appeared dead. The other three showed the effects of their passage through the human alimentary canal. The larvae were submitted to the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture for identification. Mr. F. C. Bishop of that bureau reported that they had been identified by Mr. C. T. Green
