A BSTRACT A recent instance of intestinal myiasis was identified as the result of larvae originating from botflies. In June 2022, a 24-year-old female patient reported to our hospital with a history of passing worms in her stool. In developed nations, an accurate diagnosis of intestinal myiasis is required as it is frequently misdiagnosed due to its scarce occurrence and the lack of specificity in its symptoms. Diagnosing intestinal myiasis poses a particular challenge as this condition is frequently misdiagnosed with a common parasitic infestation. Diagnostic evidence consists of the presence of larvae in one or more stool samples in succession. Intestinal myiasis is recognized as pseudo myiasis or accidental myiasis caused by dipteran fly larvae transmitted to humans via contaminated food or water. A case of intestinal myiasis acquired via contaminated food is reported in this case study.
