Sammanfattning
We describe a case of imported double cutaneous infestation with Dermatobia hominis acquired in Central America. The characteristic clinical picture is a growing furuncular lesion with continuous secretion from a small central orifice. Because of the resemblance to a bacterial infection, there is a risk of diagnostic failure. Increasing incidence of imported myiasis may be expected as a result of increased travel activity to endemic areas. A certain knowledge of this disease is therefore required.
