Popis: Myiasis is a disease caused the larvae of the Diphtera or two-winged flies. There are only sporadic reports in the literature concerning human ear myiasis. We report a case of a four-month-old infant with aural myasis and suppurative otitis externa with three live maggots extracted from external auditory canal after suffocation with olive oil and suctioning done with intact tympanic membrane.
