Abstract
Maggots were used as adjunct treatment for infected wounds that showed no response to the classical approach of wound debridement and antibiotic therapy. We summarize findings for 11 patients with necrotic wounds who received treatment with "surgical" maggots (100-2900 applied in 3-10 changes of dressing) for 11-34 days, which apparently aided in tissue remodeling and cure, and describe 2 typical patients in detail.Entities:
