Human cases involving the genitourinary system are very rare and present with unusual symptoms.We report the case of a male, 25-year-old shepherd who underwent a surgical intervention on his urinary tract for renal lithiasis and was catheterized with a drain dwelling in his left kidney. A few days after the patient showed signs of dysuria, polyuria and pollakisuria. Lower urinary tract infection with ciprofloxacin susceptible <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> was diagnosed and treated accordingly. The symptoms persisted and, a few days later, fly maggots were released repeatedly in the urine of the patient and sent for investigation. Macroscopic analysis and microscopy were performed. We detected 3\u20134 mm long, dorso-ventrally flattened white live fly larvae with lateral projections, typical for <jats:italic>Fannia<\/jats:italic> (Diptera: Fannidae) genus. Identification on a species level could not be performed as larva feeding facilities or specific DNA based methods were not available for us.Even if maggot urinary tract infestations are extremely rare in Europe, we should consider them in order to provide a rapid and correct diagnosis followed by an adequate treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1556\/amicr.59.2012.4.4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,30]],"date-time":"2012-11-30T02:18:48Z","timestamp":1354241928000},"page":"469-473","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Urogenital myiasis: A human case report"],"prefix":"10.1556","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Enik\u0151","family":"Barab\u00e1s-Hajdu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 University of Medicine and Pharmacy Department of Microbiology and Clinical Pharmacy Tg.
