Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a case of cutaneous myiasis caused by a specific fly in Al Baha Province, Saudi Arabia, highlighting its epidemiological implications in a region with similarities to tropical Africa.
- A thorough examination of the patient's history and a larval identification process confirmed the infestation, revealing it to be a local transmission without any travel history to affected areas.
- The findings suggest a new local transmission pattern in Saudi Arabia and recommend that myiasis be considered when diagnosing similar skin lesions, even in patients with no travel history to endemic regions.
