Urogenital myiasis caused by Psychoda albipennis

2011 
: Myiasis is a cause of urogenital parasitosis. In this study, a 29 year-old male patient who was admitted to our hospital with urinary discharge of worms has been presented. Larvae were examined parasitologically and urogenital myiasis caused by Psychoda albipennis larvae was diagnosed. No other pathological findings were detected in the patient and the symptoms resolved spontaneously within a few days. Despite the fact that urinary myiasis is very rare in humans, it should be considered in patients with urinary complaints. Apparently, a quick recovery without treatment is possible in most cases.
