| Popis: | Oral myiasis is a rare pathology and a risk to the patient's life. Conventional treatment is mechanical removal of the larvae (maggots) one by one, which is painful, distressing, and embarrassing both to the patient and to the dentist. We present a case report of a patient with cerebral palsy that had oral myiasis treated successfully with ivermectin. The use of this antibiotic in humans, its mechanism of action and indications are discussed. Miíase bucal é patologia raramente descrita e que oferece risco de morte ao paciente. O tratamento convencional é a remoção mecânica das larvas uma a uma que é dolorido, constrangedor e repugnante tanto ao paciente quanto ao dentista. Apresentamos relato de caso de paciente portadora de paralisia cerebral que teve miíase bucal tratada com ivermectina. O uso deste antibiótico em humanos, o mecanismo de ação, assim como suas indicações são revisados. |
