Abstract

This is the first case report in Egypt and Middle East region of human intestinal myiasis caused by Clogmia albipunctata larvae. A 36-year-old male patient presented to the Outpatient Clinic of Internal Medicine in Beni-Suef University Hospital complaining of abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea intermittent with constipation. Patient's stool sample was referred to the Department of Medical Parasitology for examination of passed larvae and treatment prescription. Examination of larvae by light and scanning electron microscopy confirmed the morphological identification of fourth instar larvae of C. albipunctata. Human intestinal myiasis is an unusual cause of gastrointestinal manifestations.
