Abstract

Myiasis with Cochliomyia homonivorax induce sensitive and nauseating cutaneous ulcerations. The usual treatment is limited to the mechanical extraction of the larvae. The authors have made a report on the treatment of C. hominivorax by local application of ivermectin. The use of this molecule paralyses and then kills the larvae. This allows rapid alleviation of pain and makes the extraction of the larvae easier.
