Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskrift › Letter › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
We present the case of a 62-year-old woman that consulted us for two boil-like lesions on her thighs after returning from a trip to São Paulo, Brazil, where she had swum in a freshwater lake. After consulting three specialist doctors and undergoing two antibiotic treatments, she was diagnosed with furuncular myiasis caused by Dermatobia hominis. The parasites were excised with no complications.
