Urogenital Myiasis Caused by Psychoda albipennis

Abstract

Myiasis is one of the reasons for urogenital parasitosis in our country. Psychoda albipennis is a fly that leads to urogenital myiasis. In this case, a 28-year-old female with complaints of dysuria, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dropping larvae with urine was referred to our hospital. Larvae in the urine sample were macroscopically and microscopically examined. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with urogenital myiasis due to P. albipennis fourth phase larvae. The symptoms were relieved with antibiotic and urinal antiseptic treatments. A diagnosis of urogenital myiasis should be considered in patients with urogenital complaints.
