Oral
myiasis, a rare condition caused by the infestation of live maggots in the oral cavity, can present unique challenges in immunocompromised individuals. This case report presents a unique case of oral
myiasis in an immunocompromised adult undergoing
chemotherapy. A 67-year-old female suffering from metastatic
carcinoma of the ovary was undergoing
chemotherapy treatment at the time of presentation. Prompt diagnosis and management, including larval removal,
wound care, and systemic
antibiotics, were initiated. This case highlights the susceptibility of immunocompromised individuals to uncommon complications, such as oral
myiasis, due to their compromised immune system. It also emphasizes the need for heightened vigilance in the oral care and monitoring of immunocompromised patients undergoing
chemotherapy, as well as the importance of early intervention to prevent potential complications associated with oral
myiasis. In this article, we have also included a comprehensive treatment protocol for treating this condition based on our clinical experience.
