RESUMO
Myiasis is known as the infestation of living organisms with maggots. It is often caused by (self-) neglect. Eight cases of myiasis have been examined at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Hamburg between 2002 and 2014. It is important that the medical examiner compares the maggots' stage of development with the alleged time of death. Especially in cases of home care, myiasis and neglect are suspicious and deserve special attention.
