ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 2-year-old boy with hypereosinophilia who presented with fever, muscle pain and heart, CNS and skin involvement. He was treated with steroids with partial response. Six months after diagnosis of hypereosinophilia, several scalp nodules were surgically removed and Hypoderma bovis larvae were found, which led to the diagnosis of cutaneous myiasis. Following removal of the larvae, the clinical and hematological manifestations returned to normal.
