摘要:

口腔蛆虫病是一种罕见疾病,由活体蛆虫寄生在口腔内引起,对免疫功能减退者产生独特挑战。本病例报告介绍了一例在免疫功能减退的成年人进行化疗期间出现口腔蛆虫病的独特病例。这位67岁的女性患有卵巢转移性癌,并在就诊时接受化疗治疗。及时诊断和处理包括幼虫去除、伤口护理和系统性抗生素的治疗被启动。本病例突出了免疫功能减退个体易患罕见并发症,如口腔蛆虫病,原因是其免疫系统的损害。它还强调了对正在接受化疗的免疫功能减退患者的口腔护理和监测需要更加警惕,以及早期干预重要性,以防止与口腔蛆虫病相关的潜在并发症。本文还根据我们的临床经验提供了一种全面的治疗方案来治疗这种疾病。 版权所有 © 2023, Singh et al.
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.Copyright © 2023, Singh et al.
