Abstract

Miyazis, deri, mukoza veya vücudun doğal boşluklarına yerleşen zoonotik bir hastalıktır ve sinek larvaları kaynaklıdır. Kırsal alanlarda, zayıf hijyenik koşullara sahip kişi ve bölgelerde daha sık rastlanır. Daha sıklıkla tropik, subtropik ve sıcak bölgelerde rastlanır, sıcak mevsimlerde insidansında artış beklenir. Genelde vücudun açıkta kalan baş-boyun, ekstremite bölgelerinde veya kronik yara bulunan bölgelerde yerleşim gösterse de nadir vulvar yerleşim bildirilmiştir. Larvaların temizlenmesi temel tedavi yöntemidir. Olgu sunumumuzda genital kaşıntı şikayetleriyle başvuran ve sol labium majusta larva tespit edilen 16 yaşında kız çocuğu sunulmuştur.

A case of myiasis with vulvar localization

Abstract

Myiasis is a zoonotic disease caused by fly larvae that settle in healthy or necrotic skin, mucous membranes or natural cavities of the body. It is more common in rural areas, in people who cannot fully provide hygienic conditions, and in areas where the habit of sitting on the ground or sleeping outdoors is common. It is more common in tropical, subtropical and warm regions, and its incidence is expected to increase in hot seasons. It is predominantly located in areas such as extremities, head and heck region or chronic wound regions. Rarely, localization in the vulvar region has been reported. Cleaning the larvae from the wound area is the main treatment method. In our case report, a 16-year-old girl living in the countryside, presenting with the complaints of genital itching that has been present for a while, and larvae detected in the left labium majus is presented.
