ABSTRACT
Urogenital myiasis occurring with the settlement of fly larvae of the order Diptera is facultative and is rarely encountered in humans. This study presents a case of urogenital myiasis caused by Psychoda albipennis in a 42-year-old male patient. The patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of groin pain, pollakuria and erectile dysfunction and claimed that he saw motile larvae in his urine. Three larvae were collected from the patient's urine, microscopically examined and identified as fourth-stage larvae of P. albipennis. The patient's complaints ceased after the application of an antibiotic and urinary antiseptic. It was concluded that myiasis should be considered in patients with urogenital complaints.
