Quick Summary:

• Myiasis is primarily a skin disease caused by several species of parasitic fly larva (of taxonomic order Diptera). The fly larvae (maggots) cause disease in humans and other vertebrate animals by feeding on the tissues. The infection is usually characterized by a painful, itchy, boil-like skin lesion that contains the parasite within it
• Pin-Site Myiasis is an uncommon complication wherein myiasis develops at sites of metal pins, which are used to hold fractured bones. The pins are usually used as external fixators to temporarily hold broken bones in place, especially in open fractures
• A fly larva infestation at such locations may be aided by factors such as improper dressing, poor hygiene and neglect of pin entry sites, old age, and/or mental illnesses. The causative agent of Pin-Site Myiasis is identified as the New World screw-worm fly (Cochliomyia hominivorax), per available medical literature
• An early diagnosis and treatment of Pin-Site Myiasis is essential to avoid deep-seated infections and occurrence of septicemia. Management of the condition involves removal of all larvae followed by surgical debridement. In some cases, the holding pins may have to be removed and replaced after extracting larvae
