AB Nasal myiasis is the infestation of the nasal cavities by larvae
(maggots) of Diptera flies. Several species of flies deposit their ova
in the nose and the larvae feed on the host's tissues. We present a case
of nasal myiasis by larvae of Oestrus ovis--Sheep Nasal Bot Fly. The
larvae of Oestrus ovis are well known parasites in the nasal cavities
and paranasal sinuses of sheep and goat. In Britain very rarely larvae
may be deposited in the eye, nostrils or outer ear of man, usually
husbandry workers. Reputedly, the larvae never survive beyond the first
stage with acute catarrhal symptoms lasting only a few days. This is the
first reported case in the UK of an urban-dwelling patient infected by
mature, third instar larvae of O. ovis. His nasal infestation resolved
after endoscopic removal of the live maggots.
