Abstract

International travel to tropical countries accounts for an increasing incidence of imported diseases. An unusual case of furuncular myiasis due to Cordylobia anthropophaga (Blanchard) is reported in northern France in a 9-mo-old infant, after a 4-mo stay in Congo. A review has been made of the major cases of imported furuncular myiasis due to Cordylobia, as well as identification of second larval instars and management of the myiasis.

RESUMÉ Les trajets internationaux ont pour résultat une augmentation des pathologies importées des zones tropicales. Les auteurs présentent un cas peu courant de myiase furonculeuse causée par des larves de Cordylobia anthropophaga (Blanchard) sur un jeune enfant de neuf mois qui revenait du congo. Une revue de la littérature concernant les cas d’importation de myiases furonculeuses à Cordylobia est faite. L’identification a été possible à partir de larves au second stade. Le traitement de la myiase est également présenté.
