N2  - Infections of man by the larvæ of dipterous insects (myiasis) are very infrequent, although such infections have been known to occur since the early history of medicine. Gilbert1 reviews the history of infections of this kind in a recent article and calls attention to some of the earlier observations.Myiasis occurs both within the body and on its external surfaces. Thus we have myiasis interna and myiasis externa. In the former should be included those cases in which the fly larvæ invade the dermis and subcutaneous tissues (myiasis hypodermatis) and those in which they invade the intestines (myiasis intestinalis). In the latter should be included those cases in which the larvæ invade wounds and open abrasions of the epidermis and dermis (myiasis dermatosis).REPORT OF CASE 
    The case which we report is one of myiasis intestinalis from which three separate and distinct species of larvæ were isolated
