Extract

The following case of Intestinal Myiasis occurred in a boy about twelve years of age, in normal health, who brought to me in September 1909 what he took to be “worms” discharged with his faeces. He said he did not feel anything abnormal but saw a mass of the creatures upon and in his freshly-voided faeces. He called his mother, and she stated to me afterwards that the “worms were in a cluster like a swarm of bees,” they were crawling about the faecal mass which was loose in character, as had been the case for several days. They varied considerably in size, as did the specimens brought to me. The mass of creatures would have filled one or two tablespoons.
