Urogenital myiasis usually occurs in human with poor
personal hygiene, poor general condition, with low mobility
and ulcerating lesions. Urinary myiasis may be associated
with underline urinary tract pathology6 or surgical
intervention7,10. The pathogenicity results from
inflammation and toxin secreted by the larvae which prevents
healing, progressive and continuous necrosis of bladder
wall may occur associated with larval growth and invasion11.
We report on the first case of human urinary
myiasis caused by Clogmia albipunctata in Egypt and
the second case worldwide.
