Wound myiasis is a type of infestation caused by fly larvae (maggots) that feed on the dead or living tissue of a host. It is most commonly seen in tropical and subtropical regions, and is usually caused by flies of the family Calliphoridae. Symptoms of wound myiasis include pain, itching, and the presence of maggots in the wound. Treatment typically involves the removal of the maggots and the application of topical antibiotics.

The symptoms of wound myiasis include:

-Painful, itchy lesions
-Swelling and Redness around the wound
-Foul-smelling discharge from the wound
-Presence of maggots or larvae in the wound
-Fever
-Nausea
-Vomiting
-Weakness
-Fatigue

The most common cause of wound myiasis is an infestation of fly larvae in an open wound. This can occur when flies lay eggs in an open wound, or when larvae enter a wound that is already healing. Other causes of wound myiasis include poor hygiene, inadequate wound care, and exposure to contaminated soil or water.

1. Mechanical removal: This involves manually removing the maggots from the wound using tweezers or forceps.

2. Topical medications: These include topical antibiotics, antiseptics, and insecticides.

3. Systemic medications: These include oral or intravenous antibiotics, anti-parasitic medications, and anti-inflammatory medications.

4. Surgical removal: This involves surgically removing the maggots and any dead tissue from the wound.

5. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: This involves exposing the wound to high levels of oxygen to kill the maggots.
