Abstract

Human myiasis is the invasion or infestation of the human body and tissues by Diptera larvae or maggots. It is an uncommon condition in Hong Kong. The first reported cutaneous myiasis in Hong Kong was in September 2002. We report two more cases of myiasis, one involving the labial mucosa of a lower lip and another involving a venous ulcer on the ankle. Both were caused by the same obligatory parasite, Chrysomya bezziana.
