Abstract

Necrotrophic or secondary myiasis is caused by facultative fly larvae by infestating areas in which there is loss of integrity of the skin, causing widespread devastation, with severity of the condition depending on the location of the lesion and the degree of tissue destruction. We demonstrate two exuberant clinical cases of secondary myiasis in lesions with solution of continuity, with therapeutic success, proposing to assist the conventional treatment with ivermec tin the topical use of a healing mixture consisting of honey, albumin powder and propolis.
