Bacteremia induced by wound myiasis is uncommon and therefore rarely suspected by clinicians when treating patients with neglected wounds. We present a case of Ignatzschineria larvae bacteremia as a complication of Lucilia sp. maggot wound myiasis in a young male migrant. This is the first reported human case of Ignatzschineria bacteremia in Slovenia and one of the 2 described in the literature where the fly larvae infesting the wounds of the patient with Ignatzschineria bacteremia were not only suspected to be Lucilia sp. but also entomologically identified.

is a recently identified genus of bacteria that has been isolated from the digestive tract of multiple flies associated with decomposing tissue. Species within this genus are rarely implicated in human disease, and less than 10 cases worldwide have been documented in the literature. Although there have been several documented cases of bacteremia in the United States (with one previous case in Louisville, KY), this case represents the first documented case of bacteremia in the United States.
