Larvalar cilt yaraları veya ağız, kulak, göz ve ürogenital sistemden vücuda girerler. Bazı bölgelerde endemik iken diğer yerlerde seyahat ilişkilidir. İnsan miyazisi için bildirilen risk faktörleri arasında kötü hijyen, ileri yaş, diabetes mellitus, psikiyatrik hastalık, kırsal bölgede yaşama, düşük sosyoekonomik koşullar ve evsizlik bulunmaktadır. Psychoda albipennis nemli banyolarda çoğalarak insanda ürogenital miyazise neden olabilir. Burada 16 yaşında, tip 1 diabetes mellitus tanısı olan bir kız hastada P.albipennis’in neden olduğu nadir bir ürogenital miyazis olgusu sunulmuştur. Sonuç olarak ürogenital miyazis ülkemiz koşullarında kırsal alanda yaşayan, kötü hijyenik koşulları olan ve idrarında kurt görme şikayeti olan hastalarda unutulmaması gereken bir hastalıktır.
Myiasis which is a parasitic disease of humans and vertebrates, is caused by dipterous fly larvae feeding on the host’s necrotic or living tissue. Entry of the larvae occurs through skin wounds or mouth, ears, eyes and urogenital tract. The infestation is endemic in some areas and travel-related in other areas. The reported predisposing risk factors for human myiasis include poor hygiene, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, pyschiatric illness, low socio-economic status and homelessness. Psychoda albipennis which can thrive in an environment of a moist bathroom may cause urogenital myiasis in humans. Here, we reported a rare case of urogenital myiasis caused by P. albipennis in a 16 year-old female patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus. In conclusion, urogenital myiasis should be kept in mind in patients who are living in rural areas, having poor hygienic conditions and see worms in their urine.
