Myiase préputiale: à propos d’une observation
Preputial myiasis: about one case
Basic and Clinical Andrology volume 21, pages 260–262 (2011)
Résumé
Nous rapportons un cas de myiase préputiale chez un enfant qui a consulté pour une tuméfaction pénienne douloureuse faisant croire à une balanoposthite. Le traitement a consisté à une extraction manuelle du ver suivie d’une circoncision. L’examen parasitologique du ver a permis d’identifier une larve de Cordylobia anthropophaga de stade 3. À travers cette observation et une revue de la littérature, nous allons discuter des particularités épidémiologiques, diagnostiques et thérapeutiques des myiases humaines.
Abstract
We report a case of preputial myiasis in a child who presented with painful penile swelling suggestive of balanoposthitis. Treatment consisted of manual extraction of the worm followed by circumcision. Parasitologic study of the worm revealed a stage-three larva of Cordylobia anthropophaga. Through this case report and a review of the literature, we discuss the epidemiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic features of this disease.
