Abstract
Myiasis is the infestation by fly larvae in tissue and organ of animal and human subjects. Ophthalmic myiasis has been reported from various parts of the world. In this case report, we have presented ophthalmomyiasis caused by Oestrus ovis larvae in a male child of 15 years of age living in urban area of Central India. The patient was in contact with animals: sheep, goat and cow. Patient presented with severe unilateral conjunctivitis, infested with Sheep Botfly larvae. The larvae were observed and detected in the bulbar conjunctiva, and followed by their removal. The symptoms of eye inflammation were improved within 6 hours after removal. Early detection and removal of parasitic infestations in soft tissue of human subjects can eliminate many of the subsequent arising complications and provide immediate relief.
