| Abstract;A 78-year-old woman, who was admitted to a hospital in Tochigi Prefecture, was found to be infested with maggots around her perineal region in June, 2001. The patient suffered from cerebral infarction and had undergone amputation of her right leg. There was also inflammation and purulent matter around the vulvovaginal lesion. Therefore, this attracted the female sarcophagid fly to deposit larvae around the perineum of the patient. The number of larvae collected from the vagina was 3; and their body length was around 10mm. Larvae collected were identified as Sarcophaga peregrina as a result of adult examination. The present case occurred on a mentally healthy woman whose consciousness was clear, but had physical handicaps, i.e. cerebral infarction and leg amputation. (author abst.) |
