Abstract
Myiasis is brought on by the larval infection of numerous species of Diptera in humans and other vertebrate animals. The larvae are typically discovered on exposed body parts. On covered body parts, such as the external genitalia, it is uncommon. Low socioeconomic status and poor personal cleanliness are associated with a higher risk of this infestation. Myiasis seldom affects the urogenital system, and vulvovaginal myiasis, which makes up just 0.7% of all cases, is far less frequent. Only a few cases have been documented. Most diagnoses are made on the basis of clinical findings. Localized larval removal and topical or systemic antiparasitic drugs are available as treatments. A case of vulvovaginal myiasis is presented.
