چکیده
|
Pulmonary myiasis is an unusual form of myiasis in humans and has been recently identified as a cause of eosinophilic pneumonia. we report the case of a 13-year-old omani boy who presented to the royal hospital,muscat,oman,in october 2014 with respiratory distress. bronchial aspirates revealed features of eosinophilic pneumonia. possible larvae identified in the cytology report,a high immunoglobulin e level and the patient history all indicated bronchial myiasis. the patient was treated with steroids and ventilation and has since been diseasefree with no long-term side-effects. to the best of the authors’ knowledge,this is the first case of bronchial myiasis in oman.
