Ocular external myiasis. A series of cases due to larvae Oestrus ovis in Navarra, Spain.

CONCLUSION: Ocular external myiasis is a rare condition that occasionally can occur in humans. In this case series, a common risk factor for infection is established: the previous exposure to livestock and / or agricultural activity. An adequate diagnosis and treatment could avoid the transition from external to internal form, as well as its complications. PMID: 30025990 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
