After removal of the larva from the skin, the lesion healed in 2 weeks. Due to an increasing rate of intercontinental travel, dermatologists in Slovenia may need to consider Dermatobia myiasis in the differential diagnosis of furuncular lesions in patients with a relevant travel history.Združenje slovenskih dermatovenerologov20252026-06-09 08:37:37Neznano29887slNa spletni strani revije navedeno: Acta Dermatovenerologica Alpina, Pannonica et Adriatica (ISSN 1318-4458) is an open access medical journal published quarterly by the Association of Slovenian Dermatovenerologists (https://acta-apa.mf.uni-lj.si/index.php); Authors publishing in our journal retain copyright of their work under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0).
