We saw two cases of cutaneous myiasis from the larvae of the botfly,
Dermatobia hominis. The first patient acquired the disease in Brazil, the
second in Guatemala. The appearance is quite similar to furunculosis, but
is not responsive to antibiotic therapy. Surgical excision is the treatment
of choice.
