Abstract
A 19-year-old Japanese man in good health was found on a routine chest X-ray to have considerable lung abnormalities. An open lung biopsy was performed and 30 third-instar larvae of Megaselia spiracularis Schmitz were found in the suction tube postoperatively. This appears to be the first recorded case of lung myiasis.Entities:
