order diptera, ie true flies. Human infestation is almost
always accidental, but common in South America.
So there have been cases in different locations, such
as skin, mouth, breast and eyes. The clinical picture
has different styles: skin, ulcers or wounds, cavitary
or visceral; being the most frequent cutaneous
furunculoid. Treatment depends on the severity of
the disease, the furunculoid occlusion techniques are
the most easily used and the base of the described
alternative therapies.
