Urogenital Myiasis Caused by Psychoda Albipennis: A Case Report

Abstract

Urogenital myiasis is one of the parasitic diseases of the urinary system. We report a case of urogenital myiasis caused by Psychoda albipennis in a 64-year-old male patient. The patient who was admitted to our clinic with the complaints of dysuria and urinary discharge of larvae lasted for a month, brought along the larvae which were examined in the microbiology laboratory. The examination of larvae revealed that they were the fourth-stage larvae of the moth fly Psychoda albipennis. The patient, whose physical examination and laboratory investigations were normal, was treated with oral hydration, antiseptic and antibiotics.
