An adolescent with recently removed ureteral stents and exposure to toilet water contaminated with sink flies developed urinary myiasis after stent removal. Poor hygiene, urinary obstruction and retention and decreased general health are known risk factors for developing urinary myiasis. Good hygiene and sanitation practices should be emphasized to patients with indwelling urogenital foreign bodies such as ureteral stents.

Myiasis in a spinal cord injury patient with indwelling catheter: A case report from Gondar, Ethiopia.
Int J Surg Case Rep

Department of Surgery, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.
Introduction And Importance: Myiasis is an overlooked public health issue, with urogenital myiasis (UGM) being particularly rare, as evidenced by only 59 reported cases worldwide from 1975 to 2017. There is a notable scarcity of cases involving patients with prolonged catheter use related to SCI. The interaction of SCI with the complications associated with indwelling urinary devices is less frequently discussed in prior literature.

Introduction And Importance: Penile myiasis is the infestation of the penile area with larvae of certain fly species, especially diptera. It is rare but can be a serious parasitic infestation that typically occurs in individuals with poor hygiene or those living in unsanitary conditions. Due to the non-specific and vague clinical presentation, it holds diagnostic difficulty.

Article Synopsis
- * The case involved a 46-year-old female cleaner who experienced intermittent emissions of worms in her urine, initially misdiagnosed as cystitis, but later confirmed to have larvae in her urine.
- * After treatment with ivermectin and hydration, her symptoms resolved, and a follow-up confirmed no presence of larvae, indicating a complete recovery.
Identification and Molecular Characterization of Clogmia (Telmatoscopus) albipunctatus (Drain Fly) Larva in a Rare Case of Urinary Myiasis in a Domestic Dog in India.

Purpose: The study aimed to identify Clogmia (Telmatoscopus) albipunctata larva recovered from the urinary tract of a four-year-old female Siberian Husky dog in India using morphological assessment and molecular techniques.
Methods: Larval specimen obtained from the dog urine underwent preliminary morphological assessments followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to selectively amplify segments of the Cytochrome b (Cytb), NADH1 genes, and the tRNA-Ser gene within mitochondrial DNA. Species identification was achieved through sequence analysis of the amplified product and subsequent phylogenetic analysis.
Patients diagnosed with cancer post-treatment are prone to have recurrent disease. Regular follow-up of these patients enables early recognition and treatment. A tissue diagnosis before starting treatment is imperative to avoid misdiagnosis and management.
