First Report on Concomitant Infection of Nasal Myiasis and Trichosporonosis in an Uncontrolled Diabetic Patient: Case Report

AbstractMyiasis is an infestation of living tissue of animals or humans by fly larvae. It is quite common in tropical countries due to hot and humid climates. Trichosporonosis is an invasive disseminated fungal infection caused by Trichosporon species. Disseminated trichosporonosis is usually a fatal disease with poor prognosis. The aim of this manuscript is to report a clinical case of concomitant nasal myiasis and Trichosporonosis infection in an uncontrolled diabetic patient which was treated successfully by two weeks of Voriconazole therapy.
